Petite Sirah is a synonym for the French Durif grape, a cross between Syrah and Pelousin. It was brought to California in its pioneering days and used as a blending grape predominantly. Relatively recently however, winemakers have discovered that it makes great wine on its own, and DNA testing has confirmed its pedigree.
Inky purple, rich and jammy - yet balanced, smooth and supple. Notes of mocha and cocoa on the nose, juicy boysenberry and blueberry fruit on the palate, this wine over-delivers. A silky mouthfeel with supple tannins wrapping around the wine like your favorite blanket on a rainy day. Luscious and decadent, this wine finishes with vanilla and sweet clove, lingering after its aging in American oak for 15 months.
