Mad Fish
Western Australia $7/$28
The nose is full of dark cherry fruits with the spicy, peppery hints. Aromatic tones of ripe berries and an almost chocolaty character. The oak is restrained and cedar like in quality. A rich palate exudes ripe cherry flavor. Finishes peppery yet smooth.

Rocky Gully
Frankland River, Australia $7/$28
This wine is 95% Shiraz & 5% Viognier, which lends to a distinctly peppery & vibrant palate that focuses on refined texture & bright flavors of plum & lime, with a long, lingering finish. 88 points Wine Spectator

Layer Cake
Barossa Valley, South Australia $38
Be prepared to be blown away by this dark, dense & inky textbook-style Shiraz, with abundant dark fruit without being overtly lush. Intense mocha undertones accentuate a weighty mid-palate & gorgeous mouthfeel, yet the wine is shockingly light on its feet & finishes clean & pure.

Foppiano Petite Sirah
Russian River Valley, CA. $42
The 2004 Petite Sirah was made entirely from estate Petite Sirah grapes. It is full-bodied and deeply colored. In the nose the Petite offers black fruit aromas, which are well met on the palate with black and blueberry flavors, as well as toasty vanilla, exotic spices, and hints of cocoa on the finish.

Klinker Brick
Lodi, CA. Farrah Syrah $45
The 2005 vintage was extraordinary. It exhibits a nose of cotton candy, French vanilla & hints of orange peel. With rich flavors of cassis, dried cherries & chocolate on the palate & the grip of tannins on the finish.

Seven Sinners Syrah
“The Ransom”
Napa Valley, CA. $49
Aromas of blackberry, anise, white pepper & cigar dominate the nose followed by layers of black raspberry & sweet oak. The addition of 5% Petite Sirah adds density & richness to this luscious wine. 92 pts. Wine Spectator.
