Field Stone 2007 Staten Family Reserve Petite Sirah (Alexander Valley)
-
$35
Big, tough, gutsy, fruity, tannic. In other words, Petite Sirah, and classic at that. Shows very ripe, deep and long-lasting flavors of blackberries, blueberries, currants, chocolate, cedar and spices, in a bone-dry, full-bodied red wine. Good now, and should develop over a decade.

Field Stone 2009 Redwood Ranch Vineyard Select Sauvignon Blanc (Alexander Valley)
-
$20
Nicely dry and crisp in acidity, with good varietal flavors of lemons, limes, grapefruits, green grass and white pepper. There’s also a lot of feline emission, so if you’re sensitive to that, you won’t like it.
