Siduri 2006 Truett Nolan Pinot Noir (California)

Editors' Choice

Price $68

A best-barrel blend of select Sonoma County and Santa Rita Hills vineyards, this is the best Pinot Siduri has ever produced. It has the rich, spicy purity of a fine malt Scotch (however weird that sounds), long and satisfying in clove-accented cherry, black raspberry and peat flavors, smoked on a wood-fired grill. The mouthfeel is dramatic, all satin, silk and… — S.H. (11/1/2008)

Sanguis 2006 As The Crow Flies Syrah (California)

Price $75

Score Chasers: USA 2011

Nearly all Syrah, with a splash of Viognier, this wine comes from some of the best vineyards in the Santa Ynez and Los Alamos Valleys, including the Happy Canyon area. It’s a dramatic glass of red wine, bone dry and fairly tannic, with vast, intricate flavors of blackberries, black currants, teriaki beef, cherries, red licorice, cola, dark chocolate and toast. The… — S.H. (2/1/2011)

Testarossa 2006 Cuvée Niclaire Pinot Noir (California)

Price $75

Of all Testarossa’s 2006 Pinots, this is the most complex, and also the most ageworthy. Offers a flood of cherry, red currant, Dr. Pepper, raspberry, licorice, vanilla cookie and oaky spice flavors that are fantastically intense and interesting. Interestingly, this bottling is one of Testarossa’s highest-alcohol Pinots. Great now and for a good six more years. — S.H. (5/1/2008)

Sanguis 2007 The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea Red (California)

Online Exclusive

Price $75

So rich and complex, so decadently delicious, you want to drink the whole bottle. Takes the blackberries and black currants of Cabernet Sauvignon, merges them with Syrah’s bacon and pepper, flirts with Grenache’s cherries, and then uplifts it all with Viognier’s citrusy brightness and acidity. A compelling wine that will hold through 2013. — S.H. (2/1/2011)

Sanguis 2008 Fractured Flowers Viognier (California)

Price $60

This 100% Viognier was grown in the Bien Nacido Vineyard. It’s bone dry, crisp in acidity and firm in wet stone minerals, while the rich fruit flavors suggest fresh, juicy citron, quince and sweet lime. Just wonderful, a bracing, pure, clean and pure example of a variety that can often be fussy. — S.H. (2/1/2011)

Calera 2002 Jensen Vineyard Pinot Noir (Mt. Harlan)

Editors' Choice

Price $53

Enormously aromatic, endlessly complex, this is one of the best Calera Pinots. It feels full and complete, despite the elegantly light silkiness in the mouth, and the crisp acids and dusty tannins that frame cherry, cola, rhubarb, pomegranate, coffee and vanilla spice flavors. Enjoyable now, this wine thankfully strikes a different direction from today’s heavy… — S.H. (7/1/2006)

Sanguis 2007 The Oracle of Delphi Syrah (California)

Price $85

A brilliant Syrah, showing its cool-climate origins with a burst of white pepper. Much of the fruit comes from the Bien Nacido Vineyard, and the Syrah contains 4% Viognier. Firm tannins and fine acidity give this delicious wine structure, but it’s mostly notable for the extraordinary depth and length of its blackberry, currant, teriaki beef, mushroom and cedar… — S.H. (2/1/2011)

Steven Kent 2007 Ghielmetti Vineyard Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon (Livermore Valley)

Price $100

There’s a beautiful wine in here, but it’s buried under tannins. Also, the fruit is all primary blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and cherry jam, while the oak stands to the side, insistent in vanilla and toast. Nothing has merged, everything is separated. Yet this is a great wine, easily the greatest Cabernet to emerge from Livermore Valley in memory. Beautiful now… — S.H. (9/1/2010)
