Flavor Profile
Prolific and pleasing Petite Sirah never takes itself too seriously. It’s a fitting tribute, then, to silent movie star and fearless stuntman, Harold Lloyd. You’ll taste what we mean when you pop the cork on this NEW exclusive.
Also known as Durif, Petite Sirah is a “grape that takes no prisoners,” writes Master of Wine Tim Atkin. It produces wines with an enticing inky-black color, a full body and luscious black-fruit flavors. (Essentially, everything fans of big reds crave!)
Petite Sirah really thrives in California’s premium Lodi region, where brilliant sunshine and a long growing season give the grapes plenty of time to develop that intense concentration. And thanks to fantastic 2019, “another classic vintage” in a string of stellar California harvests (wine-searcher.com), you can expect top quality in the glass.
Look forward to rich blueberry, blackberry, plum and sweet spice aromas and flavors. Smooth and concentrated, this Petite Sirah makes a delicious match for equally full-flavored foods. Try it with barbecued pork, hearty stews or your favorite pizza.
Secure your share today. Then, when it arrives, turn on one of Lloyd’s classic films and act silently surprised when this velvety red speedily disappears—perhaps even before the final curtain falls.
Classic Movie Pairing: Speedy (1928)
Harold Lloyd was a master comedian whose films are rightly regarded as classics not just of the silent era but across all generations of cinema. Speedy is the tale of a young man trying to save his girlfriend’s family business, and it’s packed from beginning to end with raucous gags and comedic hijinks. It also takes audiences on an incredible tour of New York City in the late 1920s, including a stop at Coney Island and cameos by Yankees Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
