Very dry, full-bodied and tannic. Shows blackberry, black currant, teriaki beef or bacon and dark chocolate flavors, sprinkled with black pepper. Drink this robust, gutsy wine with barbecue.

Easy to mistake this for a Zinfandel, it’s so peppery and wild in brambly flavors. Full-bodied and hard in dry, dusty tannins, it displays mulberries, plums, loganberries, blackberries and cola, and is bone dry. Good now with charbroiled steaks and chops.

Captures the robust, fruity essence of Petite Sirah, in a balanced, richly tannic and ageworthy package. It’s completely dry, with complex waves of wild blueberries and blackberries, plums, mulberries, tobacco, leather, dark unsweetened chocolate and peppery spices. Good now, but will benefit from 6–10 years in the cellar.

An awkward Zin, very high in alcohol (15.4%), yet a bit thin in berry-cherry fruit. It shows some unevenly ripened flavors.

A very nice Zin, lusty and rich, with ripe flavors of raspberries, cherries, red currants, licorice, smoked meat and dusty baking spices. It’s a big wine whose fruits and tannins suggest pairing with smoky barbecue.

An ultrarich Cabernet that shows the pedigree of its vineyard. It’s dramatic in blackberry, cherry, plum, cassis, chocolate, anise and baking spice flavors, wrapped into wonderfully soft, gentle tannins. With a long, sweet finish, it should develop over the next 10 years.

A rich, chocolaty Cabernet, sweet in glycerine, blackberry jam and toast flavors, brushed with spices. Good tannins and acids, but it’s a bit on the sweet side.

A rich, soft, oaky Cabernet, forward and appealing in blackberry and cherry jam, cassis, mocha and olive flavors. Shows the class and distinction of the vineyard sources in Napa and Sonoma.

A Merlot to drink now for its rich cherry, red currant, green olive, herb and cedar flavors. It’s a little sharp, so pair it with rich, fatty meats and cheeses.
