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

Dark and inky in appearance, our 2006 Petite Sirah is rich with aromas of sweet, dark fruit and floral notes. balanced, lush flavors of dark chocolate, caramel, and peppercorns intermingle with layers of blueberries, pomegranates and ripe blackberries. The wines supple tannins lead to a long, cocoa-dusted finish. Our Petite Sirah should be considered a gentle giant for this variety, exhibiting approachability and food friendliness. Recommended drinking time is three to four years from vintage, maximum suggested aging is ten years from vintage.

Deep inky purple in color. Plums, charred wood, and a hint of moss on the nose. Plum and cranberries on the mid-palette with gentle tannin finish. Slightly more acidic than I would have expected but otherwise well balanced.
