Good price for a Petite Sirah that is perfect for drinking now with roasts, barbecue, Mexican food. It’s dry and rustic in tannins, with strong blackberry, coffee and red currant flavors. ——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 85

This is a great value in a Petite Sirah that shows how well the variety performs in a great vintage in a warmer climate. With 20% Syrah, which seems to add richness and nobility, the wine is bone dry and elegant in mouthfeel, with complex blackberry, black currant, grilled beef, black pepper and cedar flavors. Drink now. ——S.H.(12/31/2010)—— 90
