Piedrasassi 2007 Rim Rock Syrah (California)
- $46
Made in a jammy, soft but enormously rich style, this Syrah is almost like Port, except that it’s dry. You’ll want to sip it slowly, over time, to let it shape-shift in the glass. It offers waves of cherry pie filling, blackberry marmalade and cassis flavors, touched with sweetly smoked oak. Calls for very rich and elaborate beef and lamb dishes.

Piedrasassi 2003 Syrah (California)
- $36
Released at seven years of age, this Syrah is soft, tannic and dry. It has rich flavors of blackberries and blueberries, and seems far younger than it is. It’s interesting and complex, and grows in the glass. Could go for a few more years.

Piedrasassi 2007 Mr. Smith Syrah (California)
- $56
California Syrah doesn’t get much richer than this. It explodes in blackberry and cherry jam, olive tapenade, dark chocolate and bacon flavors, wrapped into firm, intricate tannins. Lacks some vital acidity for balance, and so it doesn’t seem ageable, but a fancy wine for drinking now.
