- Editors' Choice
- $35
An immediately attractive wine with intense aromas of black raspberry, cherry and plum laced with toasted cedar and mocha accents. The texture is like crushed velvet, and the rich mouth filled with firm but fine-grain tannins. A touch of cola spice unwinds on the long finish. Drink now–2014.

Although it took a little while to open up, the wine eventually expresses itself beautifully with deep notes of crushed purple florals, black cherry and blueberry along with a hint of game.

Stark-Condé 2007 Unfined and Unfiltered Syrah (Stellenbosch)
- $27
A bit more rustic than its Three Pines Syrah. Notes of bramble, wild forest berries, game and white pepper flood the nose and mouth. The mouthfeel is creamy and lush, with rich cherry flavors developing on the palate and playing into the cocoa-dusted finish.
