Narrative

Per Chadha and Randhawa: "In suitable locations this variety yields well and is valuable for red table wine. Wines made from it are of good quality, with a distinctive, recognizable flavor and moderate acidity. The skin has an abundance of color, which is stable. In hot regions or hot seasons the fruit may sunburn badly. In years of early rainfall it rots badly. The clusters are medium-sized; winged, cylindrical; compact. The berries are of medium size; slightly ellipsoidal; black, with a dull bluish-gray bloom; ripening in early midseason. The vines are of moderate vigor and productivity. On dry hillside soils short pruning is satisfactory; on fertile soils long-spur or cane-pruning may be required. The Petite Sirah is best adapted to the valleys of regions II and III, where good dry table wines may be made from it. Today it is being planted widely in California, especially in the cooler portions of the interior valleys. It is recommended for less fertile soils, where its growth will not be too rank and its fruit will mature early."
