OK, so Petite Sirah from Alexander Valley is unquestionably one of the great things in life. FIVE-SECOND RULE is all that but with a side order of chocolate cake and French fries. This is one of the better wines we have come across. Get it before Chuck Norris comes and takes it all…

If Alicia Keys cut her finger, she would bleed FIVE-SECOND RULE. It’s gorgeous, soulful and as classy as a sliver of duck breast in brandy sauce with truffles and mushrooms served in a Bone China teacup. That is also a recommended pairing, M’Lord or M’Lady… Put it in a pen and write with it opaque, this lush and explosive wine is full of ripe summer Alpine strawberries, blackberry and dried currants. Spiraling to a climactic finish marked by pervasive flavors of cedar and sweet, charred oak this ripe, meaty wine is the bomb diggity.
