Feliz Noche 2007 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County)
- $95
Tons of flavor in this Pinot. Dazzles with waves of cherries, rhubarb, pomegranate, cola, currants and licorice, accented with swanky oak. The texture is firm and silky, the finish thoroughly dry. A real beauty that should develop complexity for a decade. The grapes are from Santa Rita Hills, so why doesn’t the label say so?

Feliz Noche 2006 Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
- $60
What a roll Feliz Noche has been on. They’re scoring hit after hit, and this lovely Syrah is right on. Drink it now for its polished tannins, soft texture and dry, rich flavors of blackberry jam, cherry tart, cola and chocolate.

Feliz Noche 2005 Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
- $45
Very full-bodied, heavy and dense, with significant tannins, although they’re ripe and soft, which makes this Syrah drinkable now. It’s enormously rich in blackberries, currants, chocolate, licorice and sweet oak. Probably at its best now and for a year or two.

Feliz Noche 2007 Mi Pasión Red (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $95
Deliciously soft and easy to like now. Flatters the mouth with blackberry, currant, mocha, licorice, bacon and crushed black pepper flavors that finish dry and elegant. A blend of Syrah, Grenache, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo.

Feliz Noche 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Barbara County)
- $95
With ripe blackberry, currant and cassis flavors accented with smoky oak, this Cab is a bit soft and direct in the mouth. It’s a rich wine, but not particularly complex. Drink now.

Feliz Noche 2007 Riesling (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Made in an off-dry style, this Riesling is slightly sweet but balanced with crisp acidity. The tropical fruit, flower and petrol flavors could be more concentrated, but it’s a nice everyday wine.

Feliz Noche 2008 Grenache (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Is there a harder variety to get right in California than Grenache? Probably not. This wine tries hard, but it can’t rise above a certain simplicity of cherry fruit.
