title: C. Beck 2005 Petite Sirah (Napa Valley)
description: A shade less opulent but finer and more structured than the '04. The tannins are as fine as in any Napa cult Cab, yet the flavors are exotic, with tiers of black currants, red cherries, licorice, dark chocolate, violets, pepper, leather and Chinese mu shu plum sauce. Drink now with substantial roasts; should age for a decade.
variety: Petite Sirah
