title: Quivira 2008 Elusive Red (Dry Creek Valley)
description: This Rhône blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre contains a splash of Petite Sirah. It's a classy wine, bone dry, tannic and full-bodied, and while it shows the rustic, briary nature of Dry Creek Valley, it's awesome in blackberries, cherries, raspberries and mocha, with a deliciously meaty edge of bacon. There's no reason why this wine shouldn't age in interesting ways over the next six years.
