Petite Sirah

Petite Sirah, also known as Durif, is renowned for producing dense, inky wines characterized by robust tannins and high acidity, leading to significant aging potential. Originating from France but finding a particularly strong foothold in California, Petite Sirah is appreciated for its concentrated flavors of dark fruit, such as blackberry and blueberry, complemented by notes of pepper, dark chocolate, and spices. The varietal's bold profile and structural depth make it a favorite among those who favor full-bodied wines. In blending, Petite Sirah is often used to add complexity and enhance the color and texture of the wine.
