Petite Syrah or Sirah, despite the spelling, is NO small wine.  For devotee's of this varietal the notion that this is a "little" syrah is qute the hoot!  Generally a huge, powerful burst of juicy red fruit flavors, inky purple color, and lingering finish.  Petite Syrah became the "hot" red varietal in 2009 and is looking pretty strong for 2010 already.
