Michael David Freakshow Petite Petit Lodi Red Blend 750ml

Petite Petit comes from Michael David Winery, the Phillips family's winery in Lodi. It's now part of the winery's Freakshow range, and its circus-themed label was redesigned to match.

The name comes from its two grapes: mostly Petite Sirah, with a smaller share of Petit Verdot. Both are deeply colored, tannic grapes, so this is a dark, full-bodied red. The bottle on our listing carries no vintage.

It's a big, plush wine: plum, boysenberry, black cherry and blackberry compote, with vanilla, cacao nib and a mouth-coating texture.

Against Bogle Petite Sirah, Petite Petit adds Petit Verdot and is bigger and plusher; for a showstopper red under $20, choose Petite Petit.

Pour it with barbecue ribs, a cheeseburger or smoked brisket. It's a bold wine, so open it a little ahead. Give it a few minutes in the glass and it softens nicely.
