Winemaker Notes

You are welcome and encouraged to Stain your Teeth on this. There are no excuses for this big bad boy. From the beginning it seemed to have a life force all of its own. This wine starts big; stays big; finishes big. Drink now or until it’s gone.

Wild game is a fine pairing with Petite Sirah. The strong body of meats like venison or wild boar perfectly matches its robust character.

Blend: 85% Petite Sirah, 15% Syrah

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    From the Wahluke Slope, the 2014 Wahluke Slope Petit Sirah is a blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Syrah. It's another serious wine from this estate that offers deep, decadent notes of black fruits, wood smoke, earth and licorice. Full-bodied, concentrated, yet elegant and graceful, with surprising purity and finesse, drink it over the coming decade or more.

Dusted Valley A Dream Turned Reality Winery Image

Located in the epicenter of Washington State's premiere Wine Country, DVV calls the Walla Walla Valley home. This rolling valley, backdropped by the Blue Mountains, has historically been landscaped by golden wheat fields, green vegetable fields (the Walla Walla Sweet Onion our favorite) and fruit orchards. However, this oasis has quickly become home to world class vineyards and wines.

DVV is committed to sharing the love of our favorite beverage with all of you enjoying what life has to offer. Although, we will never be able to turn water into wine, we have hunted for the best fruit and with the least amount of intervention DVV will wave a magic wand and turn the grapes into distinct and memorable wines. That's our plan and we're stickin' to it!

With its deep color, firm tannins and bold flavors, there is nothing petite about Petite Sirah. The variety, originally known as Durif in the Rhône, took on its more popular moniker after being imported to California in the early 1880s. Quintessentially recognized today as a grape of the Golden State, Petite Sirah works well blended with Zinfandel and finds success as a single varietal wine in the state’s warmer districts. Somm Secret—Petite Sirah is not a smaller version of Syrah but it is an offspring of Syrah and the now nearly extinct French Alpine variety called Peloursin.

Wahluke Slope Wine

Columbia Valley, Washington

View all products

Distinguished by a broad, south-exposed, uniform slope and landlocked by the Columbia River to its south and Saddle Mountains to its north, the Wahluke Slope AVA of Washington holds 15% of the total vine acreage of the state and takes its name from the Native American word for “watering place.”

Incidentally the Wahluke Slope AVA has one of the hottest and driest climates of the state so irrigation is not only essential, but also allows complete grower control of vine vigor. On top of its arid and warm environment, strong summer winds blow across this broad slope and ensure both smaller leaf size and grape clusters. The result is top quality wines with great concentration, phenolic ripeness, body and depth of flavor.

Vineyards cover the AVA from 425 to 1,480 feet along the slope. Its deep soils of wind-blown alluvium and sand with a depth, on average, of more than 5 feet along the continuous grade allow optimal drainage for the vines.

Thriving varieties include Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc.

Merlots are rich in sweet, ripe cherry, red currant, raspberry and cocoa. Syrahs tend to express black and blue fruit along with savory notes. Wahluke Cabernets are rich in stewed red and black berries.
