Provisor 2002 Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $30
Dark as a moonless midnight, dry as a desert, and chockful of thick, dusty tannins, but saved by overall balance and complexity and a deep core of black cherry fruit. Almost impossible to drink now except with something huge, like lamb. Should develop nicely through 2010.

Provisor 2004 Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $31
Loved the ’02, didn’t care for the ’03, but the ’04 is a welcome return to form for the softly lush texture and voluptuous fruit. It’s so ripe and luscious in cherry marmalade, crème de cassis, melted chocolate truffle and licorice flavors. Serve it with something simple but classy, like a fine grilled steak.

Provisor 2003 Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $30
Drying and tannic, with questionable ageworthiness, but some attractive black cherry and plum flavors and hints of anise, mint and graphite. Drink young with rare beef to help tame the tannins.
