Stonehedge 2004 Petite Sirah (Mendocino); $19

Inky black in color with a refined nose of white pepper and blackberries. This bold effort at Petite Sirah offers a silky mouth feel with black cherries, dark chocolate and anise. This is a big wine for such a small grape, that’s completely dry, with a fruity intensity that lasts through the finish. Drink now thru 2012
