Forlorn Hope 2005 Les Deux Matieux Petite Sirah (Suisun Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $47

This is an inky dark, broodingly tannic, bone-dry wine. Also an expensive one. Is it worth it? If you’re a Petite Sirah fan, it’s one of the most exciting of the genre you can buy. The flavors are a complex melange of blackberries, cherries, plums, mocha and dusty spices. This is in serious need of cellaring. Best after 2008, and for a decade afterward. — S.H. (4/1/2008)

Forlorn Hope 2005 Gascony Cadets Petit Verdot (Suisun Valley)

Price $42

Made from a grape usually used for blending into Bordeaux-style wines, Forlorn Hope’s Petit Verdot is inky black, bone dry and very tannic. With massive blackberry and cherry flavors, it should age for many years. — S.H. (4/1/2008)
