Winemaker’s Notes: With absolutely no relationship to Syrah, Petite Sirah actually comes from the Durif grape aptly named after Francois Durif, a botanist from the University of Montpelier who discovered the Peloursin berry that contained the first Durif seed in 1880. This wine benefits from the addition of 20% Zinfandel which adds complexity and a unique fruit forward style.
Enjoy with your BBQ or any of an array of grilled meats or poultry.
