First planted in California in the 19th century, Petite Sirah remained a mystery for decades until 1997, when it was identified as genetically identical to the French Durif grape. Though once used primarily as a blending grape in California\u2019s so-called \u2018Burgundy\u2019 wines, Petite Sirah has since claimed its place as a standout varietal, often outshining its French twin.<\/p>\n
With its small, compact berries and high skin-to-juice ratio, Petite Sirah produces wines of inky-dark color, robust tannins, and remarkable aging potential. Expect bold dark fruit flavors, bright acidity, and intriguing herbal and black pepper notes.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll be exploring a diverse selection of Petite Sirahs sourced from fine vineyards, comparing styles, and savoring the complexity this grape has to offer.<\/p>\n
Petite Sirah $25 members, $35 guests*<\/p>\n *non-member guests may attend up to three wine tasting events. After that, we ask that you join the Red River Valley chapter of the American Wine Society.
