a-non-ah-mus 2007 Alisos Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
-
$23
The northern Rhône is inspiration for this Syrah. It’s a dark, tannic wine, richly acidic, with complex, fascinating flavors of blackberries, smoked meat, cassis, cedar wood and black pepper. You get plenty of bang for your buck with this dry, elegant wine.

a-non-ah-mus 2009 Curtis Vineyard Viognier (Santa Barbara County)
-
$18
Shows the exotic side of Viognier, with tangerine preserve, apricot, tobacco, white flower, golden currant and white pepper flavors that finish absolutely dry and crisp in acidity. Elegant and clean, an interesting wine to pair with a wide variety of ethnic foods.
