Petite Sirah Parducci is among a handful of wineries which pioneered Petite Sirah as a varietal wine in California, and it boasts a long tradition of producing outstanding reds from this marvelous, underrated variety. Aged for an average of one year in American oak barrels, our Petite Sirah is delicious to drink young, but possesses the depth and structure to age well for several years. It displays a dark ruby color and seductive aromas of dark ripe berries, cocoa, loam and oak toast. On the palate, the wine offers rich, lush, ripe black cherry and berry flavors nicely complemented by sweet oak tones and smooth tannins, with a background note of chocolate. This full-bodied, lavishly fruited red is a perfect choice for hearty foods such as grilled red meats, stews and robustly flavored pastas.
