Our take
What we make of this bottle
Petite Petit is a red wine sold under a name rather than a single grape variety on the label. The solid fact here is the producer: Michael David Winery says its family has farmed in Lodi, California for more than 150 years.
The average is 4.67 out of five, from 3 ratings, at prices from $14.99 to $22.99 in our September 2026 checks.
Michael David Winery's own product page for this wine, part of the winery's Freakshow portfolio line and officially labeled Freakshow Petite Petit, names the blend as Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot and describes rich plum, boysenberry jam and black cherry aromas opening onto blackberry compote, cacao nibs and vanilla spice. The winery's technical sheet lists 15 percent alcohol and an aging period of 18 months across French, American and neutral oak, with a bottling date of November 4, 2024. The winery also states the wine has drawn 90-plus point scores from Wine Enthusiast across ten straight vintages, an aggregate claim about the bottling's track record rather than a score for this specific vintage.
Our call: buy it for the confirmed two-grape blend, Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot, and the full technical sheet behind it, alcohol level and bottling date included, on top of the family's own account of more than 150 years farming in Lodi. Pass if an aggregate accolade does not satisfy you; the winery's own '90-plus points, ten straight vintages' line covers the bottling generally, not this specific vintage, and the 3 shopper ratings on record are still a small sample.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know California.
California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.
What the name means
A state-level appellation, broader than an individual American Viticultural Area. It permits a multi-region blend and does not by itself identify one climate or soil.
How grapes grow here
The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.
What lies under the vines
At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.
How large the region is
- Reusable question
- Which counties or AVAs supplied the blend, and did that mix change by release?
Places within the region
- Resolution limit
- County, AVA and vineyard claims begin only when the release names them.
