Elegant and crisp, a rare California version of this type that’s really worth it. Shows tremendous control and tension in the balance of dryness, acidity and subtle sour orange candy, herb and spice flavors. A sommelier’s dream.

Tercero 2008 The Climb Red (Santa Barbara County)
- $30
There’s a tough, peppery leatheriness to this wine that’s by no means undistinguished. Bone dry, with firm tannins, it’s more European than Californian in style, with hints of dried berry, charred meat bone, earth, herb and spice. It shows real control and nerve. The blend is Syrah and Petite Sirah.

Tercero 2007 Petite Sirah (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
A nice interpretation of this variety, and one of the best from Santa Barbara County ever. It’s bone dry, big in tannins, full-bodied and juicy, in the way of a young Petite Sirah, with blackberry, currant, cola and cedar flavors. Shows real finesse, in a wine that can often be awkward. Now–2015.
