2004 Corte Riva 85% Lake County 15% Napa Valley Petite Sirah $49.99 Limited
A knock-out effort, the 2004 Petite Sirah is a blockbuster red made in the style of the Robert Foley and Switchback Ridge Petite Sirahs. Inky/purple to the rim, with hints of pepper, earth, blackberries, cassis, plums, violets, incense, and Chinese black tea, it possesses huge body, sweet tannin, and enormous richness as well as length. Give this monster 4-5 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 25 years.

2003 Corte Riva Napa Valley Merlot Was $47.00 Sale $42.99
The 2003 Merlot is knock-out stuff, with a big, chocolaty, berry nose, a dense plum/purple color, and broad, intense flavors of smoke, berries, herbs, and chewy, fleshy fruit. This is a beauty to drink over the next 5-7 years.
2003 Corte Riva Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Was $60.00 Sale $53.99
The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon is a dense, ruby/purple-tinged effort with deep, full-bodied flavors. It’s all there, and I suspect another 1-3 years of bottle age will be beneficial. It should last for 12 or more years.
