The 2007 Proprietary Red Wine Lot 1, a blend of 70% Petite Sirah, 25% Petit Verdot, and 5% Zinfandel, offers a vivid nose of mountain laurels intermixed with black fruits, earth and spice. This dense, concentrated, deep, chewy, rich red over-delivers and should age easily for a decade or more. It is the type of wine that California can do so well from less prestigious varietals. Gutsy, exuberant and approachable, it should become more civilized and elegant over the next decade. Titus Vineyards- consistently reliable wines are well worth seeking out.Tel.

Revealing the most saturated ruby/purple color, the 2003 Lot 1 offers attractive aromas of graphite, scorched earth, blackberries, and cassis. Full-bodied with nicely harnessed power, elegance, and purity, this beauty should evolve and expand over the next 2-4 years. It will keep for 12-15 years. Tel. (707) 963-3235; Fax (707) 963-3257
