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:
06 Big House The Lineup GSM, Central Coast A blend of 49% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Mourvedre. Winemaker Comments: Each variety of the GSM blend brings its individual characters and distinct personality: blackberries and spiciness from the Syrah, raspberries and a suggestion of rose petals from the Grenache, truffles from Mourvèdre. A wonderful mix of the best each variety has to offer.	10.99 reg. 13.99	qty:
07 Bogle Petite Sirah WINEMAKER NOTES \"Ripe summer blackberries and plums overwhelm both the nose and palate of this wine. Its trademark inky, jammy qualities are a barrage of black fruit and spice, adding layer upon layer of complexity. Notes of supple leather and toasty oak envelop the flavors through the finish, giving way to wisps of caramel and vanilla. The firm tannins make this a wine that can develop for years to come, but you won’t want to wait that long to enjoy it!\"	11.99	qty:

06 David Bruce Petite Sirah Winery Notes \"These grapes come from several vineyards in Paso Robles and southern Monterey. The resulting components display notable differences, some exuding bright, spice-tinged fruit while others are jammy, earthy and dense. The blend in many ways exceeds the sum of these parts, offering blackberry, blueberry and white pepper aromas, with a supple and balanced feel coming from our gentle handling of the fruit. Limiting the influence of new oak allows the fruit to shine through, making this wine versatile with foods, and ready to drink now.\"	19.99	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. After years of experimenting with the varietal, we sought out prime Petite Sirah vineyards to include this wonderful wine in our Diamond Collection.	15.99 reg. 17.99	qty:

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:
04 Gargiulo Vineyards, Aprile Super Oakville Blend "Aromas of mocha, blackberry, herbs and spice are tight and focused on the palate, framed by firm tannins.

07 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:

The wine will transport you to southern France.\"	15.99	qty:
06 Magnificent Wine Co. Syrah, Washington State Winemaker's notes: Pure elixir, viscous and rich, saturated with blueberry, raspberry fruit. Deep with game and spice. Full in the mouth and long on pleasure! Syrah!	23.99	qty:
08 McManis Petite Sirah Winemaker\'s Notes \"The color of the 2008 Petite Sirah is of concentrated purple, with a youthful bright hue. The nose of the wine is full of ripe Blackberry, Boysenberry aromas, which are accompanied by Mocha and hints of brown sugar. The berry aromas of the nose are also evident in the flavor, when the rich, full bodied wine enters the mouth. Notes of milk chocolate and anise linger, long after swallowing.\"	11.99	qty:
05 Michael + David Sixth Sense Syrah Striking aromas of ripe dark fruits radiate from the glass in an earthy, smoky tobacco context. Full, rich fruit flavors of dark berries, whole plum, and blackcurrant fill the palate and hold their flavors through a long and smooth moderately peppery finish.	12.99	qty:
06 Michael And David Phillips Earthquake Petite Sirah Absolutely outstanding is the 2006 Earthquake Petite Sirah. This is a stunning example of Petite Sirah, exhibiting graphite, blueberry liqueur, blackberry notes, and acacia flowers in a powerful full-bodied style. Remarkably, the tannins are sweet, and in spite of sensational concentration, and a mouth-staining level of extract, this wine is very supple and delicious already, although I have no doubt, given the anti-oxidant attributes of Petite Sirah, that it can last for a decade or more. -90pts -Robert Parker	25.99 reg. 27.99	qty:
06 Michael David Petite Petit, Petite Sirah \"Juicy and well-balanced, showing wild berry flavors and a tang of citrus peel. Medium-bodied, with toasty accents and fresh herb notes on the finish.\" 86 points. — Wine Spectator	14.99	qty:
06 Milbrandt Vineyards Estates Syrah Winery Notes: Our 2006 Estates Syrah is deep, dark, dense and ripe. The fruit is opulent and overt - a wild mix of boysenberry jam, cassis, oak, smoke and mocha. The flavors are rich, generous and velvety. It drinks beautifully now and should continue to improve over the next decade.	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.

04 Pedroncelli Petite Sirah Winemaker\'s Tasting Notes “Opaque purple in the glass. Rich with ripe blackberry, black pepper and chocolate flavors. Very deep and complex, this wine should be opened and decanted if enjoyed before 2010. Expect this wine to take on complexities for the next 8-12 years. This wine will age well for at least 15 years--it has the structure to evolve nicely.”	14.99	qty:
05 Pennywise Petite Sirah \"Smoky, hickory flavors give a bacony edge to the wild berry flavors, with chalky, talclike tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2014. 1,370 cases made.\" 84pts - Wine Spectator	9.99	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 Qupe Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard \"From the renowned Bien Nacido Vineyard, the 2005 Syrah exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as aromas of black olives, crushed rocks, and flowers. It reveals some austerity and leanness, but the sweetness of the fruit, structured, well-delineated mouthfeel, and substantial concentration and minerality are characteristic of an outstanding wine that should drink beautifully for a decade or more. 90pts\" -Robert Parker	28.99	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:
07 Roseblum Petite Sirah \"Rustic, with hard-edged and drying tannins and a savory component to the cherry and black fruit flavors. Tannins firm up and dry out on the finish. Drink now. 13,676 cases made.\"	17.99	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:
06 Sebastiani Barbera Winemaker Notes: The incredibly fresh, dark, garnet color is immediately striking when the wine is poured. The aroma is filled with black cherries, blackberry pie crust and pureed blueberries with hints of vanilla and baker’s chocolate from the oak regime. The flavor echoes the nose with rich, concentrated blueberry and black cherry fruit. The wine has luxurious mouth coating tannins which effortlessly glide along the palate, providing structure and rich framework. It is very supple and harmonious in its flavor purity and aromas. This wine could age and improve for another 10-15 years.	23.99 reg. 25.99	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:
05 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	33.99	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:
07 Vinum PETS Petite Sirah \"Appealing for its bright and juicy red and black fruit flavors, with a smooth texture and vivid spice, cola and toast details. Gains some tannic traction on the finish. Drink now through 2016. 8,000 cases made.\" 87pts - Wine Spectator	13.99	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:
06 Zaca Mesa Cuvee Z As for the red wines, these acquitted themselves very well in my tastings, The 2006 Z Cuvee (a blend of 59% Grenache, 23% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault) is a deep ruby-colored beauty exhibiting plenty of raspberry and jammy strawberry notes, with some blacker fruits, pepper, and roasted herbs also making an appearance. The wine is round, generous, spicy, and a very good California interpretation of a serious Cotes du Rhone from France. Drink it over the next 1-3 years. -88pts -Robert Parker	18.99 reg. 20.99	qty:
05 Zaca Mesa Syrah, Santa Ynez Valley Tight and beefy, with focused blueberry and wild berry flavors that are spicy and complex. Full-bodied, with a hint of stewed plum and wild berry peaking through on the finish. Drink now through 2015. -92pts -Wine Spectator	18.99	qty:
