Guenoc/Langtry makes a more accessible, $17 Petite Sirah under its Guenoc label but for true Petite Sirah aficionados this Serpentine Meadow vineyard-designated wine is really the one to reach for. Closed at first, the wine is dark, earthy and tannic, heady with blackberry and cherry but especially licorice, with a well-executed, balanced finish. Could cellar 3–5 years at least. ——V.B.(12/1/2011)—— 91

A fine Petite Sirah, dark, full bodied and dry, with ripe flavors of blackberries, mocha, leather, herbs and spices. Feels good and clean in the mouth, with chewy tannins and a long, rich finish. ——S.H.(6/1/2010)—— 90

This is a gorgeous young Petite Sirah. Most people will probably drink it soon, because although it’s tannic, it’s tremendously ripe in blackberries, cherries, chocolate and sweet oak, making it irresistibly delicious. But it should be drinkable for a very long time, slowly changing its profile and becoming ever more delicate.——S.H.(7/1/2009)—— 93

Hard to like with its sugary sweet medicinal flavors that taste like cough medicine.——S.H.(12/15/2007)—— 80
