Fifty bucks for Petite Sirah? You bet. It’s a huge wine, black as midnight, dry and tannic, with amazingly deep, long flavors of currants, Mexican chocolate mole sauce, creme de cassis, sweet old leather, anise, pepper, cinnamon and smoky oak. Has the balanced complexity of a great Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, with Petite Sirah’s classic earthiness and depth. This quintessential wine should age for at least a decade.——S.H.(4/1/2009)—— 95
