A Dominant Name in the World of Bourbon
January 11, 2012
A review of the Weinstock Petite Sirah 2010 and Jim Beam White Label Bourbon Whiskey.
There is nothing tiny about Petite Sirah. It is a bruiser of a grape that requires a deft hand to make it approachable. Now grown primarily in California, Australia and Israel, Petite Sirah was developed in France by crossing Sirah with the lesser known Peloursin. The grapes are smaller than other varietals which led to its name and a considerable amount of vineyard confusion when it eventually made its way to the U.S.
