Description:
Petite Sirah 2003 is an extremely full bodied red that is not for the meek or white wine lover. It is big and beefy with a gorgeous aroma of smoke and blueberries with intense color that will stain your teeth. The finish has a long hang time with layers of black fruits on the finish. This wine screams for a steak!

Varietal Definition
Petite Sirah:
Petite Sirah is the same as the French variety known as Durif, a cross of Peloursin, with the true Syrah. A French nurseryman, Dr. François Durif, propagated the grape trying for resistance to powdery mildew and named it after himself, in the 1870s. Petite Sirah has long been an important blending grape, prized primarily for its deep color and fairly intense tannin. It is the variety most often chosen to blend into Zinfandel for added color, complexity, body, and to tone down the tendency of Zins toward "jammy" fruit.
