Nice dark color. Nose of smoke and dark fruit. Palate initially follows the nose, with black fruit, smoke, a little herbaceous character. Very firm tannins backing up that fruit which had me wondering whether this wine was just heading towards its peak or just ready to get just past its peak. Either way, it was classic petite sirah and very nice stuff.

WTN: 2000 Coffaro Petite Sirah

Letterman asked Zevon if his condition had taught him anything about life and death. ''How much you're supposed to enjoy every sandwich,'' Zevon answered. (From a 2003 NYTimes article on Zevon by Jon Pareles.)

Damn! Back in the days of the original CompuServe forum, I knew David (he even participated on the forum), visited his winery from time to time, and often tasted his wines.
Now I never see them. They just don't get over this way as far as I know. And doggone it, I miss them.

I always liked his Petite Sirah -- it was approachable early on, and it make a great BBQ ribs wine.
