What to Expect

Petite Sirah is one of a group of grapes that took to a new home - in this case California - after moving from the relative obscurity enjoyed at its birthplace - France in this case - where it is called Duriff. While never particularly elegant nor subtle, Petite Sirah can produce large-scaled, intense wines with bright flavors of blue and plummy fruits, rich with earthy tannins.

Winemakers Notes

This inky dark port clings to the glass. The aromas of raspberry truffle, chocolate, brown sugar and nutmeg all fuse together while the rich flavors of cherry, blackberry and dusty cocoa make it a great companion for dark chocolates and cigars. The richness of this port makes it a good match with Pacific Rim Cuisine or flavored goat cheeses such as the chocolate Capri Log or Cranberry Chevre with Cinnamon from www.igourmet.com.
