2017 Petite Sirah
Silver Medal- Orange County Wine Competition
Product on Backorder
Known to most of the world as Durif, Petite Sirah is Tatiana’s favorite varietal and wine. (Petite Sirah is not to be confused with Syrah, as they are two different varietals with very different flavor compositions). This varietal is known for its tannic, plum-like characteristics.
We do not grow Petite Sirah here in our vineyards but source these grapes from good friends of ours. We can only get a small lot of these unique grapes each year.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The Petite Sirah opens with an aromatic nose of dark, Bing cherries and dark chocolate. In the glass you will notice an inky, opaque, dark purple, heavily extracted expression of this varietal. Although this is a wine for the not so faint of heart, it is balanced throughout and expresses itself with dark berries, spice and a long, long finish. Save this wine for the end of your evening while enjoying a fine cigar on your patio or deck.
