I very much wished I had wooted more than one this time. I had to do a little research and petite sirah is actually derived from Durif grapes and should not be confused with Syrah which appears to produce Shiraz. Which is unfortunate because I liked this one enough to buy a 3-pack of Syrah, thinking it was Sirah. In any case, Durif "produces tannic wines with a spicy, plummy flavour." It was extremely dark and rich and very smooth. I'll have to snap up some more when I can find it.
