A monster in the making is the 2007 Petite Sirah Barrel Select. Composed of 91% Petite Sirah and 9% Zinfandel, it reveals abundant aromas of blackberries and blueberries intermixed with hints of crushed rocks, espresso roast, and Chinese black tea. Deep, rich, and full-bodied, it will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring, and should last for two decades or more. Tel. (707) 944-2900; Fax (707) 945-0301

This dense, tannic, dark purple-colored wine reveals copious amounts of pure, peppery, black fruits, and medium to full body, but it is backward, tight, and in need of 2-3 years of cellaring. It is capable of 10+ years of evolution.Tel. (707) 963-5496
