Millesime 2007 Le Jardin Viognier (Santa Ynez Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $68
This is a very dry, crisp and minerally Viognier. It shows a structure of elegance and sophistication. Yet the underlying flavors of apricots, peaches, honeysuckle flowers, vanilla and sweet oak spice are savory. Drink now.

Millesime 2007 Bleu Saphir Red (Paso Robles)
- $58
At the age of nearly six years, this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend remains deliciously fresh, offering ripe blackberry, cherry, currant, chocolate and oak flavors. It’s soft in tannins, which limits ageability, although it’s already throwing some sediment. Drink over the next two years.

Millesime 2005 Bleu Saphir Red
- $78
This is a Bordeaux blend based on Cabernet and Merlot. It’s a sort of second, upscale label from Sunstone. Finishes a bit overripe and extracted in raisins, but otherwise maintains a polished control, with supple tannins framing currant, cocoa and cedar flavors.

Millesime 2005 Le Reflexion Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)

Very soft and light-bodied, almost without tannins, this gentle wine has flavors of cherries, chocolate, orange zest, anise and vanilla. Could use greater structural volume, especially at this price.
