Tessa Marie 2009 Grenache Blanc (Santa Barbara County)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $18
Rich and opulent, showing masses of honeydew melon, orange crème, vanilla and spicy flavors. Really seductive, so easy to like. A touch of oak adds just the right note of smoke. Great with roast pork.  — S.H.  (10/1/2011)

Tessa Marie 2007 Coquette Sangiovese-Syrah (Santa Barbara County)

  1. $36
An offbeat blend of Sangiovese and Syrah, and quite a good wine, at that. It’s dry, medium- to full-bodied and tannic, with complex flavors of cherries, leather, tobacco, Dr. Pepper cola and peppery spices. It is high in alcohol, but wears the heat well.  — S.H.  (10/1/2011)

Tessa Marie 2009 Vermentino (Santa Barbara County)

  1. $20
Nicely dry and acidic, giving a clean, scoury mouthfeel to this food-friendly wine. The flavors combine tart citrus fruits with vanilla, yeast, minerals and peppery spices. A crisp cocktail wine to start the meal.  — S.H.  (10/1/2011)

Tessa Marie 2007 Sangiovese (Santa Barbara County)

  1. $26
Harsh and hot in the mouth, with high alcohol and tough tannins. There’s lots of rich cherry, berry and tobacco flavor, but the wine is too unbalanced to earn a higher score.  — S.H.  (10/1/2011)
