San Marcos Creek 2002 Estate Merlot (Paso Robles)
- $17
Very ripe, soft and chocolaty, in the Paso style, with blackberry and coffee flavors. Despite the softness, there’s a good dose of dusty tannins in this dry, balanced wine. It’s quite a nice, supple Merlot.

San Marcos Creek 2009 Epiphany Red (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Rich, oily meats and cheeses are what this Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah blend needs, because it’s so toughly tannic. The char of broiled meat will complement the cherry and blackberry sweetness.

San Marcos Creek 2008 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)
- $35
A soft wine that appeals for its blackberry, currant and oak flavors. Finishes a bit sweet, but it’s a fruity, oaky sweetness, not the sugary kind.

San Marcos Creek 2002 Estate Syrah (Paso Robles)
- $21
Although the alcohol on this Syrah is mercifully below 14%, there’s a country-style coarseness and heat to the texture, with jagged tannins. Yet the wine is dry, with rich coffee, blackberry and currant flavors. Good now with grilled meats and poultry.
