This is a serious red wine, powerful and authoritative in Petite Sirah character, but be forewarned, it’s pretty tannic, and nowhere near ready. That probably won’t stop most folks from popping the cork now, and they’ll like the blackberry, currant and dark chocolate flavors just fine withgrilled steaks and chops. But the wine will develop fascinating bottle complexities for many years.——S.H.(3/1/2009)—— 92
