Quixote Petite Syrah Napa Valley Panza Stags' Leap Ranch 2002, $40

Pure and delicious Petite, notably supple with a generous offering of ripe, spicy plum and wild berry, a touch of hazelnut and nutmeg, and a touch of beef carpaccio, ending with a dash of pepper and ripe, integrated tannins. Drink now through 2012. 580 cases made. From California.- J.L.
