Well that sucks. Favorite winery in Napa. Their petite sirah was outstanding.

It’s one of the few varietals I just don’t like very much, unfortunately.

+1. It doesn't have a lot of distinctive character, at least not flavor wise. It's got great color and structure and is additive in a blend with Zin or other grapes, but on its own I find it to be monolithic.

Agreed. It's a fantastic wine. Now I wish I could get more.

I’ve had many cheap wines, but their petit Syrah is nearly impossible to beat at that price.



Its probably the best value in all of wine.

It's close but there are high quality Tempranillos from Spain and Cabs from South America that are better for the same price.

Better but a pretty big step up in price.

I’m drinking a glass or two of Bogle Petit Sirah this evening for the first time. They don’t carry it at my closest grocery store so I traveled a little further to find it. Big fan of other Bogle varietals for inexpensive wines.

On one of our early visits to Napa the B&B owners turned my wife and I on to Vince Arroyo Petite Sirah. Took a bottle home and signed up for their order list.

2 years later they called, and I ordered a case. Laid it down and forgot about it for 20 years. Opened a bottle with some good friends a few months ago - inky, purple and smooth as silk.

Good petite sirah take some money and a lot of time and patience.

That is good. We were drinking that at a restaurant in Las Vegas and it was a big hit.
