Kunin 2000 Stolpman Vineyard Viognier (Santa Ynez Valley)
- $28
Extremely floral up front, then racy and rich on the palate. The wine serves up a serious blend of ripe fruit; apricots, melons, peaches and pears come to mind. All are couched in a creamy, spicy blend that lingers nicely on the finish.

Kunin 2001 Alisos Vineyards Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
- $30
From an easterly, warm part of the Santa Ynez Valley, this wine displays beautiful aromas of finely oaked, ripe Syrah: cassis and violets, lavender and grilled meat, and a hint of raisin. The mouthfeel is full. Finishes a bit hot due to 15.1% alcohol.

Kunin 2003 Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
- $28
This SBC Syrah’s flavors are very ripe, with accents of coffee and meat. Full and soft in the mouth, it’s an all-purpose, enjoyable wine.

Kunin 2002 Alisos Vineyard Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
- $35
A good, though overdone, wine. Intense in the mouth, but it is heavy on the earth, prune and coffee flavors. A smooth feel segues into a mocha-laden finish; 300 cases produced.

Kunin 1999 French Camp Vineyards Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $28
Fresh young cherry-berry aromas, with a kiss of oak, lead to extracted, jammy, full-bodied flavors that explode in the mouth. Soft, luscious and round, there’s lots of immediate pleasure here.

Kunin 2000 French Camp Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $28
Big, extracted and jammy, this Aussie-style wine has raspberry, cherry and blueberry flavors accompanied by soft, slippery tannins and rather low acidity. It all makes the wine slide down the throat with a delicious, fruity finish. It’s an easygoing, fun-to-drink wine.

Kunin 2000 Syrah (Santa Maria Valley)
- $35
Starts with overtly gamy, leathery aromas, and turns thick and tannic, a wine that numbs the palate and demands rich, oily foods. Underneath the tannins are some lean blackberry and plum flavors. Seems to have been the victim of a late-harvest rainstorm that thinned the fruit.

Kunin 2000 Syrah (Sta. Rita Hills)
- $35
From this new, cool-climate appellation, a wine of high acidity, with a bony, tannic structure that’s lean, with earth, sage and tobacco flavors. Yet there’s an interesting taste of the earth. This is a first-crop wine, and one to watch as the vines mature.
