Description:
The Petite Sirah grape is most likely an offshoot of the Duriff Rhone grape, grown in France, and is not related to the Syrah grape. Until the 1970's, Petite Sirah's claim to fame was as a blending wine. Since then Petite Sirah has emerged as a noble varietal in its own right. Petite Sirah performs best in mild coastal regions, and produces intensely peppery wines with substantial tannins. The colors of Petite Sirah wine range from a rich red to an almost inky deep purple. Petite Sirah wine combines rich berry flavors and its trademark spiciness. It is reminiscent of the flavors of black pepper, blackberry jam, blackberries, oranges and plums. Petite Sirah ages very well and can "hold its fruit" for 10 to 20 years.
