The light 2007 Petite Sirah reveals some sweet black currant and blueberry aromas as well as medium body, but it, too, lacks texture and a finish. Tel. (805) 245-9584

A nice interpretation of this variety, and one of the best from Santa Barbara County ever. It’s bone dry, big in tannins, full-bodied and juicy, in the way of a young Petite Sirah, with blackberry, currant, cola and cedar flavors. Shows real finesse, in a wine that can often be awkward.
