93 Points

Quixote Panza Stags' Leap Ranch Napa Valley 2001, $40

An immense, powerful wine, dark, rich and hearty, with wonderful aromas of ripe plum, rasberry and blackberry, with spicy floral scents and a solid core of flavors. It packs the requisite dense core of tannins, but also some pretty notes of vanilla and tobacco. Petite Sirah. Best from 2005 through 2012. 750 Cases made. - J.L.
