A true hidden gem at a price that is just too good to pass up, this wine really astounded our entire tasting panel! And that’s saying something, as we are very choosy when it comes to the Petities that we bring you.

Today’s wine delivers something not commonly found in a Petite Syrah (we also call the varietal Petite ‘Sirah’): Elegance. This little beauty does have the bold fruit and flavor associated with the varietal, but with none of the brashness that can make a P.S. seem very over the top.

This wine bursts with lovely aromatics and, on the palate, the sort of juicy goodness that we just adore. Today’s Graziano 2009 Petite Syrah Mendocino County is a fun, delicious, rich and surprisingly elegant wine that is drinking beautifully. Enjoy now, or hold a few bottles back for the fall and winter holidays and be rewarded with even more plush grace.
