2005 Mendocino True Grit Petite Sirah
Fresh red berry flavors rush the mineral tannins of this wine and power past them, firm and lasting. There's blacker fruit as well, along with mintiness. Not for now, unless you decant it a day before dinner. Cellar this ten years or more. (1,500 cases)

2007 Vinho Verde Quinta de Aveleda
Ever since the Guedes family decided to put their best selection of loureiro, trajadura and alvarinho into their quinta wine, the quality has risen dramatically. This 2007 is full of fruit, a lasting peach flavor targeted with laserlike acidity through a lasting finish. It has the bite of the salty ocean air and a lot of zing. For langoustines.
