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

Pets
2006 Petite Sirah, Wilson Vineyards, Clarksburg Petite Sirah is called "Pets" by veteran grape growers like Ken Wilson. So we dedicate this wine to his pet - Tanker. Dark colored, long legged and bold, we feel this wine has the potential of becoming your best friend. A portion of the profits from this wine will be donated to our local animal shelter (San Francisco SPCA). 2005
