Trinitas 2006 Pinot Noir (Carneros)
- $27
This is a polished Pinot from a winery best known for big, hearty reds like Petite Sirah and Zinfandel. They turn to Carneros for the grapes, and the result is a silky, refined wine, rich in cherry, cola, mocha and spice flavors. Best now and for a few years.

Trinitas 2004 Old Vine Petite Sirah (Lodi)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Here’s the kind of Petite Sirah that’s launched the variety to unheard of fame. It’s a black, dry, tannic wine, absolutely packed with the ripest blackberry flavors you can imagine. With a clean finish, it’s lovely now, and should slowly ride out the next 20 years.

Trinitas 2003 Petite Sirah (Russian River Valley)
- $32
Dark, rich, deep and full-bodied, this is a classic Petite Sirah. It’s bone dry, with sturdy tannins and good acids framing impressively ripe flavors of blackberries, coffee and sweet leather. Drink now through 2015.

Trinitas 2005 Old Vine Mataro (Contra Costa County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Mataro is another name for Mourvèdre. The wine tastes like a good Zinfandel, very dry, not too alcoholic, with savory, black pepper-infused flavors of wild black and blue berries, licorice, gingersnap cookie, and sweet leather. The feeling in the mouth is just fine, a smooth, full-bodied caress of sturdy tannins and brisk acidity.

Trinitas 2004 Bigalow Vineyard Zinfandel (Contra Costa County)
- $28
Here’s a dry, very tannic young Zin, with exotic flavors of wild berries, pomegranates, plums, dark unsweetened chocolate, nutmeg, Chinese five-spice and tobacco, and the list could go on and on. Totally distinctive, it seems to capture a taste of its place. The vines are said to be 120 years old.

Trinitas 2001 Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)
- $28
A fairly dense style, with black cherry, blackberry, cocoa, coffee, spice and anise flavors at the core, surrounded in toasty oak. The tannins are firm but ripe, giving good structure to the blend.

Trinitas 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- $50
Lush, dry and delicious, with firm but finely ground tannins framing black currant, cassis, mocha and cedar flavors. Feels soft and plush, and should improve through 2011.

Trinitas 2002 Petite Sirah (Russian River Valley)
- $32
Be prepared to cellar this wine because it’s very tannic. It should age well, with its crisp acids and lush core of black cherry, blackberry pie and milk chocolate flavors. However, it will be great now with a juicy steak.
