Retro 2004 Petite Sirah, Howell Mountain
RATING: 94
Chocolate and earth nose, showing smoky fire cracker, herbs and bacon. The palate is dense, chewy like a chocolate macaroon dipped in blackberry and white pepper. The structure is impressive and bold. Showing spicy cumin on the finish.

Retro 2003 Petite Sirah
92 Points
The vineyard is 1,800 feet up the mountain and the wine was made by Randy Dunn’s (Dunn Vineyards) son, Mike. Howell Mountain produces some of California’s densest, most ageworthy red wines, and this big, dry, tannic Pet is a sure cellar candidate. Packed with blackberry, coffee, plum, leather and spice flavors, it should start to open up by 2009 and improve for several years after. Cellar Selection. —S.H.
