($27, Royal Wine Corp.): The Carmel Winery, originally founded with the help of Baron Edmond de Rothschild (Lafite), has reinvented itself from a purveyor of sweet wines for sacramental use to premium wines.  They have several levels, from basic varietal wines to ones made from grapes from a single region, such as this one, to single vineyard wines.  This Petit Syrah is not for the faint of heart.  Dark and powerful, but not particularly tannic, it would pair best with a hearty lamb dish. 87 Michael Apstein Mar 27, 2007
