Petite Syrah

Hello all,

Any recommendations for petite syrah that anyones tried?

I recently went to a petite sirah tasting where we went through 60 of the wines. It was miserable and I felt like my tongue was going to fall off :) These wines really beg for a fatty steak.; ▶ Reply to This

The guy has a Phd in grape genetics from UC Davis and is growing Cali varietals in WA. drop me a line if you cant find it. MD; ▶ Reply to This
