- Online Exclusive
- $24
Made from Grenache Blanc and Viognier, this pretty and enormously likeable white wine was barrel fermented. It has pleasant flavors of citrus fruits, raspberries, vanilla, white pepper, buttered toast and sandalwood. The finish is clean and zesty.

Standing Sun 2009 Camp Four Vineyard Grenache (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
A good Grenache from the standpoint of a dry red wine. The wine is extraordinarily rich in cherry fruit, and is nicely silky, with firm, juicy acidity. Neutral oak adds just a touch of smoke. Drink now.

Standing Sun 2009 GSM Red (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Here’s a dry, crisp southern Rhône blend with plenty of ripe fruit and a long, spicy finish. Made from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, it shows cherries and blackberries, with hints of violets and spices, brightened with zesty acidity.

Standing Sun 2010 Rodney’s Vineyard La Rouge Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
- $28
This is a lush Syrah, smooth and rich in blackberry jam, milk chocolate and sandalwood flavors, with sprinkles of pepper and anise. So fruity, it’s almost sweet, but the finish is clean and dry. Drink now.

Standing Sun 2008 Syrah-Grenache (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Lots of acidity in this dry Rhône blend—maybe too much. It has the cut of a raw lemon. But the cherry, raspberry and cola flavors are very rich.

Standing Sun 2011 Riverbench Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)
- $24
An exotic style of Chardonnay with tropical fruit, pear, white flower and honey flavors. It’s atypical for the variety, but delicious. Drink now, not too cold.

Standing Sun 2011 Blanc White (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
This is a very fruity, honeyed wine that needs to be paired with equally powerful foods. It tastes of apricot, orange and pineapple jam, brightened by crisp acidity. The blend is Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Roussanne.

Standing Sun 2010 Grenache (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
This is a soft, seemingly sweet, simple wine. Although it’s luscious in raspberry, cherry, orange zest and cinnamon spice notes, it’s pretty one-dimensional.
