This Bordeaux-Rhône blend is quite soft and lush. It has chocolaty flavors of mashed ripe blackberries, currants, plum jelly and black pepper, wrapped into exceedingly finely ground tannins. Drink now.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Here’s a lush young Petite Sirah brimming with blackberry jam, cherry liqueur, dark chocolate and licorice flavors that taste a little sweet. It’s tannic and immature now, but should age well for up to a decade.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

An atypical Mourvèdre , more like a warm-climate Pinot Noir with its light-bodied silkiness. Crisp acidity frames red cherry and cola flavors, leading to a dry, spicy finish. Drink now.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Don’t demand complexity from this Grenache, just enjoy its fruity richness with a grilled steak, lamb chop or even roasted salmon. It’s as silky and light as a Pinot Noir, and the flavors are pure cherry pie filling and cola. Easy to drink and pleasantly dry.

Too much unripeness in this wine, which shows aromas of asparagus and broccoli. Tastes somewhat better than it smells, with blackberry and black cherry notes.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Raw in acidity, giving it a harshness that Petite Sirah’s natural tannins accentuate. It’s bone dry, with full-throttle blackberry and currant flavors. Needs rich fare, like short ribs, to balance it out.

Overripe, soft and simple. The blackberry and cherry jam flavors are conjoined with milk chocolate-covered raisins to make for a dessert pastry taste. High alcohol makes it hot and prickly.
