Roshambo 2005 Frank Johnson Vineyard Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $35
Here’s a Syrah that marches to the beat of its own drummer. Eschewing massive fruit, it shows a subtle, complex mélange of dried blackberries and bitter black cherries, olive tapenade, tobacco, dark unsweetened chocolate, leather and the white pepper of a fine Syrah. Drink this dramatic wine now and through 2011.

Roshambo 2005 The Reverend Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice

Picture-perfect Dry Creek Valley Zin. So lush, so delicious, you just can’t get enough. Power-packed with cherry, raspberry, cassis, chocolate, licorice, tobacco, oak and spice flavors, the wine’s structure is beautiful, with elegant tannins and brisk acids.

Roshambo 2007 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
An interesting, complex wine. It’s fully drinkable now for the lightly silky texture, extreme dryness and tart flavors of cherries, cranberries, pomegranates and cola, which feel so elegant in structure. Yet there’s an inherent depth and balance that suggests ageability. Now–2013.

Roshambo 2005 Rock-R Red (North Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
A sturdy, drily tannic red wine of considerable complexity. There’s wild berry and spice flavors and a brambly mouthfeel. The alcohol is a high 15.3%, but balanced.

Roshambo 2001 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $21
Rich in berry and herb flavors, this Zin has the crisp tannins and dry, brambly taste associated with the appellation. There’s a peppery edge to the sweet, wild blackberries and blueberries that really perks up the palate.

Roshambo 2006 the reverend Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Roshambo has captured the essence of Dry Creek Zin with this spicy wine. It shows the peppery flavors of wild mountain red and black berries, picked under the heat of the summer sun and ripe in sugary sweetness. But the wine itself is utterly dry and rich in tannins. Fine now with beef in chimichurri sauce.

Roshambo 2001 Zinfandel (Alexander Valley)
- $18
Its soft, gentle tannins, rich plummy, chocolatey flavors and long, spicy finish could only come from Alexander Valley. Perfect with a nice, juicy steak.

Roshambo 2005 Le Petite Morte Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Don’t be scared by descriptors such as blood, raw meat and leather. It’s the best way to suggest the exotic aromas and flavors of this rich, dry wine. You’ll also find more familiar elements like cherries and red currants. It’s an elegant, smooth sipper that’s at its best now and through 2010.
