Straight Line 2010 Tempranillo
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Earthy like a Pinot Noir at first, but bigger boned like Syrah, this Tempranillo (with 10% Graciano blended in) has brooding mushroom notes throughout, is quite savory and has a long, peppery finish. Still very young, its tightly wound tannins will let loose over time.

Straight Line 2009 Pinot Noir (Mendocino County)
- $28
From four acclaimed Mendocino County vineyards, Winemaker Jon Grant’s Straight Line Pinot is heftier than his single-vineyard bottlings from sister label Couloir. A dense style of Pinot, this has smoke and oak to it, plenty of strawberry and plum, its tannins not resolved, yet it still exhibits a lush fullness and well-rounded elegance.

Straight Line 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Here’s a nice Sauvignon Blanc for drinking now. It shows how well this variety grows in the warmer parts of the county, with citrus, apricot, peach and spice flavors. Crisp acidity provides zesty balance to this deliciously drinkable young wine.

Straight Line 2010 Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
- $24
A little coarse in the mouth, with grippy tannins, but it sure is ripe, offering a wealth of cherry, raspberry, sweet oak and spice flavors. It’s soft enough to drink now.
