03 Adobe Road Dry Creek Valley Syrah "Intense nose of blackberry and luscious ripe red berry and a hint of smoky cedar give rise to a luscious, dense palate of blueberry, blackberry, herb and dark chocolate. Though this big wine shows a little alcoholic heat on the finish, its crisp acidity and structured tannins provide balance.” — Lynne Char Bennett, San Francisco Chronicle	39.99	qty:
05 Arns Napa Valley Syrah Winery notes: This classic Syrah has aromas of beef, pepper, wild berries, ham and spices with an uncommon depth of richness and concentration. The 2004 was tightly wound, and we see the same restraint in the 2005. Age 3-6 years.	52.99	qty:
07 Bevan Cellars Syrah, Dry Stack Vineyard, Bennett Valley Winery notes: Our last offering is the 2007 Bevan Cellars Dry Stack Vineyard Syrah. It is a combination of black cherry, roasted meats and white pepper. With decanting it picks up hints of mocha and evolves for hours. The most striking thing about this wine is its richness and how fruit driven it is at an amazingly low alcohol level, 13.3%. We did a 38% saignée (or bleed) for this wine to get the desired level of concentration. The result was a magnification of the fruits natural flavors and acidity. Again we pushed things at the winery, pressing the must to the barrel while the wine was still very sweet. We did this to avoid over extraction from the huge tannin load because we had such a high ratio of skins and seeds to juice. This wine shows amazing balance and will age for a very long time.	64.99	qty:

07 Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Plum Label Petite Sirah Winery Notes: Winemaker Corey Beck developed a fondness for Petite Sirah in part because it was the favorite varietal of his grandfather's, a Napa Valley grape grower back when the California wine industry was just gaining notoriety.

07 Francis Coppola Magenta Label Alicante-Bouschet Winery notes: Francis Coppola remembers his grandfather making homemade wine in his basement from Alicante Bouschet grapes shipped from California.

06 Frog's Leap Petite Sirah, Rutherford Napa Valley Winery notes: As we drew early barrel samples, this rich Petite Sirah hooked us with its dark indigo hue and intense fragrance. Captivating aromatics of ripe blueberry are revealed at the core, while flavors of cassis, tobacco smoke and damp earth unfold to present a provocative wine with bright acidity, supple tannins and a long finish. Intense and weighty this little Petite is a great compliment to roasted meat dishes or decadent, dark chocolate.	35.99	qty:

06 Girard Petite Sirah, Napa Valley A Wine Enthusiast Cellar Selection: "Classic Petite Sirah, full-bodied, rich, totally dry, very tannic and fruity. So good now with something big, like short ribs, that it will be difficult to cellar, but this is a wine that will soften and sweeten over many years. And what a finish, long in ripe, wild blackberries, cherries and coffee." 93 points.	27.99	qty:
05 Il Cuore Barbera Mendocino County Winery notes: The bright ripe raspberry aromas and rich cane fruit flavors offer attractive complexity.

05 Milbrandt Washington State Legacy Syrah A Wine Enthusiast Editor's Choice: "Many winemakers use Milbrandt fruit for their Syrahs, so it’s no surprise that the brothers’ own winery has a Syrah that stands at the top of the product line. There is precision and power here, with deep cherry and boysenberry fruit, tart acids that hint at lemon rind, a sharp peppery streak and a finish that somehow suggests chocolate and pineapple candy. Complex, muscular and delicious." 91 points.	23.99	qty:
06 Mosby Santa Barbara County Dolcetto Winery Notes: This Dolcetto has a nose with spicy hints of mace and forest floor. The backbone of tannin is interlaced with clean raspberry fruit, followed by a firm, spicy finish.	17.99	qty:
05 Naked Winery Vixen Uncorked Red Wine Oregon Syrah Winery Notes: Vixen is characterized by her very dark beautiful color. Smoky, rich blackberry and hints of ripe black cherry on the nose. Close your eyes and experience the subtle complexity of the Rhone Rogue Valley, as Vixen finishes with roasted espresso. A musty Gruyere or maple smoked Vermont Cheddar will do nicely with this fox.	18.99	qty:
04 Ojai Syrah Roll Ranch Vineyard "The stunningly full-bodied, rich, opulent, ripe 2004 Syrah Roll Ranch offers lovely aromas of melted licorice, creme de cassis, blackberries, violets and underbrush. It is deep, full-bodied, velvety-textured, and as always, the most forward and evolved of the Ojai Syrahs. Enjoy it over the next decade or more." 94 points. — Robert Parker	51.99	qty:
07 Orin Swift The Prisoner Napa Valley "Offers both style and structure, with lively aromas of black raspberry, cracked pepper and mocha, with plush and layered flavors of wild berry, fresh sage and licorice. Ripe tannins sneak in on the finish. Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Charbono and Grenache. Drink now through 2014. 39,000 cases made." 92 points. — Wine Spectator	34.99	qty:
06 Quivira Wine Creek Ranch Mourvédre, Dry Creek Valley Winery Notes: As a finished wine, Mourvèdre has a wild streak running through it that is often described as “animal” or “savage” in its adopted Mediterranean home of Provence. In Quivira’s Dry Creek estate vineyards, this wild expression has been tempered a bit by a degree of ripeness rarely achieved in the old world. The result is a dense, rich, mouth-filling wine with soft tannins and a seemingly endless finish.	31.99	qty:
07 Qupe Central Coast Syrah Winery notes: The wine is essentially a blend of cool-climate Santa Barbara grapes and warm-climate Paso Robles grapes. The cool-climate fruit gives spice, acidity and balanced alcohol while the warm-climate fruit give softness, roundness, ripeness and more up-front fruit flavors and aromas.	16.99	qty:
05 Red Car California Syrah, Shake Rattle Roll "A riveting red. Dense, rich and complex, with deep, concentrated plum, currant, smoke and blackberry fruit that's plush and persistent. Fans of full-throttle Syrah will love this. Drink now through 2011. 1,493 cases made." 93 points and "highly recommended" by Wine Spectator	52.99	qty:
06 Rosenblum Cellars Appellation Series Mourvedre, Contra Costa County Winemaker's notes: This Mourvedre displays ripe cherries, violets and rose petals, with a soft, velvety finish and nice acid backbone.	16.99	qty:
07 Seghesio Barbera, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County Winemaker Ted Seghesio's notes: Look for: • Aromas of sweet blackberry and cherry spice • Floral cinnamon notes • Mid palate rush of blackberry preserves enhanced by ripe cherry flavors • Savory richness enhanced by Barbera's juicy acidity • Integrated fine-grained tannins support Barbera’s acid profile • Intriguing synergy of components…. Excellent Barbera!	25.99	qty:
05 Seghesio Home Ranch Alexander Valley Petite Sirah Winery notes: Scents of spicy, brambly raspberries. Creamy texture with cedary/oaky notes. Flavors of licorice, cherry and mineral. A full-bodied supple wine.	34.99	qty:
06 Seghesio Sangiovese Alexander Valley Ted Seghesio's notes: Bouquet of dried violets. Persistent dark fruit – flavors of blackberries and blueberries. Savory mid-palate richness. Longer hang-time produced ripe, integrated tannins. Spicy anise and clove oak tones contribute synergy and completeness. Sangiovese’s sublime nature and proportional acid/tannin balance make it a quintessential food wine.	25.99	qty:
06 Seghesio Venom, Sangiovese Winemaker's notes: Growing and producing world class Sangiovese is not for the faint of heart. Rattlesnakes, thistle and America’s most unique clone of Sangiovese are all that thrive atop Rattlesnake Hill on Seghesio Family Vineyards’ Home Ranch. The shallow topsoil and virtually impenetrable volcanic shale are the perfect foil in taming this vigorous varietal into producing intensely flavored grapes. The clone, planted in 1910 by Edoardo Seghesio in America’s oldest Sangiovese vineyard, produces small-berried, loosely formed clusters.	44.99	qty:
NV Sokol Blosser Meditrina {5} Winery notes: In 2004, we discovered a little known goddess named Meditrina, who is the Roman goddess of wine and health! We couldn't believe that thousands of years ago the Romans had enough savvy to name a goddess of wine and health. Named in her honor, this red wine has a core of rich, lush berry from the Syrah. The Zinfandel provides spice, tannin and structure. And the Pinot Noir brings flowers, earth and elegance. It all adds up to a luscious, juicy, easy-drinking mouthful of red wine that's both bright and vibrant yet round and soft.	14.99 reg. 17.99	qty:
NV Spann Betsy’s Backacher, North Coast, Lot 5 Red Blend A blend of 25 percent Merlot, 25 percent Petite Sirah, 21 percent Charbono, 17 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 12 percent Syrah. This serious, fun-loving, drink-me-now house wine is great by itself but also with barbeque, pizza or other richly flavored foods. Only 600 cases produced.	13.99	qty:
03 Spencer Roloson La Herradura Vineyard Syrah, Napa Valley "This wine is almost over the top. If it had any more ripe, jammy fruit, it would be. As it is, it’s balanced enough in tannins and acids so that the flood of blackberry pie and mocha flavors go only so far before dryness and structure kick in to check. Those tannins are a modern-day wonder, ripe, sweet and sturdy." 90 points. — Wine Enthusiast	34.99	qty:
03 Spencer Roloson Tempranillo, Madder Lake Vineyard The fruit is loosely clustered in the vineyard, a seriously steep and rocky location with exception drainage. The result being wine with monumental structure and inky black fruit flavors.	25.99	qty:
05 Stacked Stone The Gem, Rhone Style Blend Winery notes: A blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Grenache create the flavors of cherry, pepper, and the aroma of violets. This Rhone Blend is filled with concentrated flavors and subtle tannins.	19.99	qty:
05 Stag's Leap Napa Valley Petite Syrah Winery Notes: Expressive notes of cocoa powder, raspberry and lavender introduce this luscious and intensely fruity Petite Syrah. The palate follows with ripe black plum, black coffee, bittersweet chocolate and brown spice wrapped around structured tannins with juicy berry ﬂavors on the ﬁnish.	32.99	qty:
03 Stolpman LaCroce "The 2003 La Croce is a blend of equal parts Syrah and Sangiovese that were co-fermented. A limited cuvee of 200 cases, it offers up an interesting perfume of mocha, chocolate, strawberries, coffee, and berries." 88 points. -- Robert Parker	43.99	qty:
05 Surh Luchtel Napa Valley Syrah, Page Nord Vineyard, Oak Knoll District "Cab specialist Surh Luchtel has had some years to figure out how to make their Page Nord Syrah, and judging by this ’05 bottling, they’re right on track. The wine is firmer in structure than the soft ’04, but the flavors are no less startling. Blackberries, cherries, currants, chocolate and pepper flood the palate, wrapped into sumptuous tannins. Best now and for a few years." 92 points. -- Wine Enthusiast	39.99	qty:
06 Tablas Creek Esprit de Beaucastel Paso Robles No. 50 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2009: Well-balanced, intense yet elegant. Full-bodied, showing vivid blueberry and wild berry flavors, with hints of nutmeg, cedar and coconut. Ends with a long, complex finish that shows a pleasant loamy, earthy quality. Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah and Counoise. Drink now through 2014. 3,500 cases made. 93 points.	40.99 reg. 42.99	qty:
06 Terra d'Oro Barbera, Amador County Winery Notes: Terra d’Oro Barbera is elegant and bold yet fun and universally approachable. Rich, ripe cherries, spice and toast coalesce into a single sensation of olfactory bliss. Black plum aromas are laced with toasty coconut and graham cracker spice. Barbera’s super soft tannins and brisk acidity make for a phenomenal food wine.	15.99	qty:
06 Terra d'Oro Barbera, Amador County Winery notes: Terra d’Oro Barbera is elegant and bold yet fun and universally approachable. Rich, ripe cherries, spice, and toast coalesce into a single sensation of olfactory bliss. Each soft, juicy sip is more complex yet comforting than the last. Black plum aromas are laced with toasty coconut and graham cracker spice.	15.99	qty:
05 White Cottage Syrah, Contra Costa County Winery Notes:White Cottage's first release of Syrah. The wine is a beautiful garnet color with a nose of roasted blueberries, cinnamon and vanilla. On the palate, the flavor of plush fresh fruit is ripe, round and wonderfully balanced.	29.99	qty:
02 Wild Horse Syrah Paso Robles Winemaker's Comments: Due to the small berries and low yields of 2002, the wine is richly extracted with chewy tannin, bright acid, and dark color. Aromas include mocha, cherry truffle, and a sweet oak tone, while on the palate; this wine shows flavors of black raspberry, spice, and a lingering brown sugar finish. The big, balanced structure insures this wine will become more soft and complex with longer cellar aging.	18.99	qty:
05 Zaca Mesa Black Bear Block Syrah "So delicious, complex and dramatic, it might almost be from the Northern Rhône, except for a certain softness that identifies it as warm California. Hard to describe the waves of blackberries, black and red currants, grilled meat, mocha, licorice, graphite, Tabasco and pepperspice flavors, and how they change every second. This is the best Black Bear Syrah that Zaca Mesa has ever produced. Now through 2012." 94 points. — Wine Enthusiast	54.99	qty:
03 Zaca Mesa Syrah, Santa Ynez Valley "Another excellent bargain is the 2003 Syrah Estate. Made in a mainstream, somewhat commercial style, it offers a deep ruby/purple color, lovely purity of fruit, good texture, medium body, and no hard edges. This luscious Syrah will offer plenty of enjoyment over the next 3-6 years." 88 points. — Wine Advocate	17.99	qty:
05 Zaca Mesa Z Three Rhône Red Blend, Santa Ynez Valley "Zaca Mesa has tinkered with this Rhône-style blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache for years. With the 2005, they’ve produced a dry, richly tannic wine, with cherry and currant flavors complexed with grilled meat, pepper and a touch of funky old leather. It’s an interesting wine that’s complex enough for a creative sommelier to figure out how to pair it with food." 89 points. — Wine Enthusiast	39.99	qty:
