Petite Sirah

Despite its name, Petite Sirah is anything but small in character. Known in France as Durif, it thrives in California, where it produces inky, full-bodied wines with intense blackberry, plum, and spice notes. High in tannin and acidity, it has impressive aging potential, developing smoky, chocolatey depth over time. Its robust structure makes it ideal for blending, though single-varietal bottlings showcase its bold, concentrated fruit. Often misunderstood, Petite Sirah is a powerhouse red that rewards patience, offering remarkable complexity with bottle age. A favorite among lovers of deeply colored, structured wines with a touch of rustic charm.
