Powerful, deeply coloured reds with an inky, near-black robe, firm tannins and dense palate. Intense aromas of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, black pepper, chocolate, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Near-extinct in France, it became a star as Petite Sirah in California (Napa, Lodi, Paso Robles) and is emblematic of Rutherglen, Australia.
