The blockbuster 2008 Petite Sirah Ann’s Block is for those with a cold cellar and lots of patience. Oodles of white chocolate, cocoa, blackberry, pepper, and camphor jump from the glass of this black/purple-colored wine. A superb Petite Sirah with 15-20 years of life ahead of it, the wine is full-bodied, has relatively silky tannins for this varietal, but is rich, dense, and multi-layered. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following two decades. This small, artisinal producer has turned out five attractive wines that are worth pursuing by Rhone Ranger enthusiasts.Tel. (805) 801-5989; Fax (805) 541-8025
