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.

Deepest plum color with beautiful purple robe. Intriguing nose of pomegranate, mulberry, figs and incense. A rich mouthful of ripe Damson plum, cranberry, pomegranate, blueberry, dried wild herbs and smokey bacon. Exceptional balance, verve and elegance. Long finish with savoury spice and fine-grained tannins. Petite Sirah is called Pets by veteran growers like Ken Wilson. So we dedicate this wine to his pet- Tanker. Dark colored, long legged and bold, we feel this wine has potential of becoming your best friend. A portion of the profits from this wine is donated to our local animal shelter!
