Description:
Dark blue/red color with distinct dark cherry, blackberry, blueberry and plum flavors. Well extracted with a full, broad and intense mouthfeel finishing with a hint of toasted coffee. With great depth and strong, but not overbearing tannins, this well developed wine should continue to age and improve for many years.

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.
