Philip Staley 1999 Somers Vineyard Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $21

Connoisseurs are taking a fresh look at this variety despite its reputation as a common wine. Let’s get one thing straight: It will never possess the refined personality of, say, Cabernet. But sometimes this rough-edged, drily tannic wine fits the bill perfectly. I’m thinking game, or bruschetta with peppers and onions. — S.H. (12/1/2002)

Philip Staley 2000 Somers Vineyard Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $24
