($45): Location matters.  Spellbound’s Napa Valley bottling of Petite Sirah is a big step up from their less expensive “California” one.  With spicy deep dark berry scented flavors accompanied by moderate tannins, this is quintessential Petite Sirah.  Winemaker, Rob Mondavi, Jr., Michael Mondavi’s son, has captured the intensity of the grape while avoiding the pitfall of going overboard.  Uncork this winter with a garlic-infused roasted leg of lamb.  The only downside is the big, heavy bottle. 90 Michael Apstein Oct 29, 2013
