Herman Story 2004 Syrah (San Luis Obispo County)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
A blend of two great vineyards, Shadow Canyon and Laetitia, this wine is notable for its delicacy and charm. But that doesn’t mean it’s wimpy. It’s tremendously rich in cherry preserves, kirsch, cassis and spices, but maintains a crisp balance and freshness. Very fine and dry finish.

Herman Story 2004 Larner Vineyard Grenache (Santa Ynez Valley)
- $32
Super-rich in cherries, with even richer chocolate fudge and coffee notes. This flavorful wine is balanced with lively acidity and a minerality that undergirds it. It’s a bit obvious and forward, but those flashy flavors are just yummy.

Herman Story 2004 Larner Vineyard Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)
- $28
Exotically rich, with sun-sweetened blackberry and cherry pie flavors accented with deeper, darker notes of plums, leather, licorice and coffee. The wine is soft and oaky, and for all the lusciousness, it’s not exhibiting particular terroir.

Herman Story 2006 Grenache (Santa Ynez Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Almost Port-like, with extremely high alcohol and a thick, glyceriney mouthfeel that frames superripe blackberry, cherry and dark chocolate flavors. Yet the wine is very dry, and rich in its own eccentric way.
