Napa Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2007 and Petite Sirah Napa Valley 2006. Both exhibit characteristic varietal flavors of raspberry/cherry and blackberry/blueberry, respectively, with good concentration of fruit, nicely balanced acidity, and integrated tannins. Easy to drink, and easy to gif...
