Peloton 2006 Diamond Jem Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $32
Nicely dry, with a firm, rich tannin structure, and flavors of blackberries, black currants and smoky oak. There’s an herbal edge of sage and sweet tobacco that grounds the wine and adds interest. A fine Cabernet that displays the new sophisticated style in Paso Robles.

Peloton 2007 Laetitia Vineyard Syrah (Arroyo Grande Valley)
- $26
Shows real pedigree in the quality of tannins, fine coastal acidity and long, rich flavors. It’s a cool-climate Syrah brimming with complex blackberry, black pepper, bacon and sandalwood flavors. Feels elegant in the mouth, a fine accompaniment to a great grilled steak or chop.

Peloton 2009 Laetitia Vineyard Syrah (Arroyo Grande Valley)
- $30
This exceedingly rich wine is produced from fruit grown in the cool-climate Laetitia Vineyard, which is better known for Pinot Noir than for Syrah. The maritime influence can be tasted in the acidity, which is bright and citrusy, and it provides a firm backbone to the ripe black-cherry, red currant, licorice, bacon, black pepper and cedar flavors. Drink this over…

Peloton 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Paso Robles)
- Editors' Choice
- $15
Bone dry and crisp, this Sauvignon Blanc shows fresh, savory flavors of lemons, limes and grapefruits, with richer notes of pineapples, vanilla bean and honeysuckle. A firm minerality helps add structure and finesse. It’s a great restaurant wine, especially at this price, but will be hard to find, with only 140 cases produced.

Peloton 2005 Diamond Jem Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $32
Shows nice dryness and low alcohol for a Paso Cab, with pleasant blackberry, currant and cedar flavors. Good as far as it goes, but the next step is to build in extra layers of complexity if they want to fetch this price.

Peloton 2011 Jesperson Ranch Albariño (Edna Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
Albariño is very sensitive to the slightest usage of oak. Although this wine has only a touch of neutral oak, the wood still sticks out. The barrel influence gives it a buttered toast and caramel heaviness. Try this as an alternative to Chardonnay.

Peloton 2005 Laetitia Vineyard Syrah (Arroyo Grande Valley)
- $24
Laetitia is a great vineyard but this Syrah is too ripe for comfort or pleasure. Entirely dry, it’s also very high in alcohol, with 15.7%, which makes it too hot, and lacking the rich fruitiness for balance.
