A beautiful Petite Sirah that takes the variety’s wild berry and spice flavors and big tannins and tames them down to elegance. It’s dry and moderate in alcohol, which is always a consideration with Petite Sirah. A minor quibble is excessive softness. Drink now.

Stone cold classic Sonoma Petite Sirah, black in color, brooding, dense in body, and brilliantly fruity. The sweet, smooth tannins hold massive flavors ranging from blackcurrants and coffee to grilled meat and plenty of smoky oak. Easy to drink now, but should age well for many years. From a branch of the Trentadue winery.

A fine Petite Sirah that shows Dry Creek’s ability to ripen big red wines to perfection. Dry and tannic, it has mouthfilling flavors of blackberries, currants, grilled meat, mushu plum sauce and sweet cinnamon spices. This powerful wine is good now, and should age for at least a decade.

Soft and sweet, this Cab shows well-oaked flavors of blackberry jam, cherry pie filling, licorice, chocolate and peppery spices. The tannins are the best part, being rich, thick and fine. Drink through 2010.

A softly delicious Pinot made for drinking now with upscale fare. It’s pale in color and dry, with very rich flavors of Dr. Pepper, raspberry jam and sweet smoky oak, folded into a silky texture.

A terrific Zinfandel, beautiful to drink now for its soft richness. Flatters the palate with deep, lingering black cherry and raspberry pie filling, vanilla, Indian spice and sandalwood flavors, but is completely dry, with rich, intricate tannins. Only 190 cases were produced, but worth the search.

Tastes a little heavy and straightforward, although it’s nicely dry, and shows rich blackberry, cherry, anise and herb flavors that veer into dried currants. Turns even richer on the finish, with the sweetness of liqueur. Drink now.

High Valley is a high elevation, volcanically shaped bowl in Lake County. This Rhône blend is slightly sweet and softly tannic, with ripe, savory flavors of raspberries, cherries, pepper and candied ginger. Drink now.

Big and rich. The flavors are blackberries, plums and coffee so ripe, they touch into black currant and raisin territory. Yet the wine maintains poise and dryness. Drink now–2015, at least.
