Standing Sun 2009 Terra Alta Vineyard Le Blanc White (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $24
Made from Grenache Blanc and Viognier, this pretty and enormously likeable white wine was barrel fermented. It has pleasant flavors of citrus fruits, raspberries, vanilla, white pepper, buttered toast and sandalwood. The finish is clean and zesty.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)

Standing Sun 2009 Camp Four Vineyard Grenache (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
A good Grenache from the standpoint of a dry red wine. The wine is extraordinarily rich in cherry fruit, and is nicely silky, with firm, juicy acidity. Neutral oak adds just a touch of smoke. Drink now.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)

Standing Sun 2009 GSM Red (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
Here’s a dry, crisp southern Rhône blend with plenty of ripe fruit and a long, spicy finish. Made from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, it shows cherries and blackberries, with hints of violets and spices, brightened with zesty acidity.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)

Standing Sun 2008 Syrah-Grenache (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
Lots of acidity in this dry Rhône blend—maybe too much. It has the cut of a raw lemon. But the cherry, raspberry and cola flavors are very rich.  — S.H.  (3/1/2011)
