Very firm in tannins, this Petite Sirah is astringent and closed right now. It’s hard to appreciate the sweetly ripe cherry and licorice flavors. Could improve significantly over the years, but there’s no guarantee.——S.H.(12/31/2008)—— 86

Fruit stars in this dry, young Petite Sirah. It explodes with jammy flavors of blackberries, cassis, cherries, licorice and plums, with a generous dusting of cinnamon and cocoa. It’s distinguished, while holding onto the variety’s brawny rusticity.——S.H.(12/15/2007)—— 88

A classically big Pet, dark in color, shy in aroma and overwhelmed by tannins in its youth. Decant for a few hours, and it begins to give off blackberry marmalade. The balance suggests a long and distinguished life. Best after 2010.——S.H.(10/1/2004)—— 90
