An Australian Durif (Petite Sirah) tasted as part of Wine Blogging Wednesday, this month hosted by the Wannabe Wino. Durif is grown mostly in the Rutherglen region, an area known for “big,” traditionally rather rustic reds. They certainly have their fans.
Thanks so much for participating! You were by far the very first entry. I’m sorry your bottle had that vegetal note to it, I haven’t noticed that in the Petite Sirahs that I have tried. I also found a Durif, which won my blind tasting!
Sounds like you enjoyed your PS more than I enjoyed mine.
Nice review! I agree that the “greenness” is an unusual characteristic of a PS.
I’ve added the wine to Vinismo, see here:

Thanks Evan, and good luck with Vinismo.
