Pretty soft and delicate for a Petite Sirah, with the silkiness almost of Pinot Noir, except for the dark black color and firm, dry tannins. The blackberry, currant and leather have a touch of smoky cedar. Drink this pleasant wine with Mexican food, spare ribs, lasagna.

Grilled beef, slathered in BBQ sauce, will soften and sweeten this hearty red from the Sierra Foothills. By itself, it's tannic and hard-edged. Shows rich flavors of black currants, cassis, raisins and dark chocolate.
