2nd Chance 2009 Syrah (Santa Maria Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
Flashy and voluptuous. Santa Maria Valley Syrah always has an enormous depth of fruit, spiciness, rich tannins, bright acidity and a firm minerality, and that’s just what you’ll find in this bottling. It’s marked by ripe blackberry, chocolate, bacon and crushed pepper and clove flavors that should drink well over the next six years.  — S.H.  (2/1/2012)

2nd Chance 2009 Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

  1. $29
Delicious is the word that comes to mind drinking this Pinot Noir. It’s young and vibrant in acidity, with waves of raspberries, persimmons, honey, cinnamon, cloves and smoky sandalwood. Good over the next five years.  — S.H.  (2/1/2012)

2nd Chance 2009 Swiss Clones 2A Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

  1. $48
Good raspberry, cola, vanilla, sweet oak and spice flavors in this silky Pinot Noir. It’s a little off in texture, though, with overly aggressive acidity. But it’s a pretty nice Pinot.  — S.H.  (2/1/2012)

2nd Chance 2010 Rosé of Syrah (Santa Maria Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $19
A clumsy wine, awkward in acids and tannins, with a sweet and sour raspberry flavor that isn’t quite ripe.  — S.H.  (2/1/2012)
