Forlorn Hope 2005 Les Deux Matieux Petite Sirah (Suisun Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $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.

Wooden Valley 2006 Merlot (Suisun Valley)

Made in a light but complex style, this is a delightful Merlot to drink with just about anything that calls for a full-bodied red wine. It’s dry and elegant, with an herbal tinge to the cherries and tobacco.

Olabisi 2007 King Vineyard Syrah (Suisun Valley)
- $30
Thick and meaty, this Syrah has an unusual-but-welcome aroma of marshmallow, surrounded by notes of dark plum, black currant and a streak of dark chocolate. With a long, lingering and rich finish, this will be great to drink in the winter months.
