Even bigger, richer and potentially more promising, but limited in availability is the 2008 Petite Sirah Dry Creek... ...fewer than 50 cases of this killer wine...

92Vinous / IWC

Lush, broad and sweet but firmly built, with an exotic candied fruit quality giving this seriously concentrated wine compelling sex appeal.

TYPE

Red Wine, Petite Sirah

Despite its popularity, this grape is quite rare. Less than 10,000 acres are planted worldwide, with the bulk in California. In France, the grape is referred to as Durif. Not to be confused with Syrah, Petite Sirah is a cross of Syrah and Peloursin. The result is darker and fuller.
