Tercero 2008 Camp 4 Vineyard Grenache Blanc (Santa Ynez Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive

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 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.

Tercero 2007 Cuvee Christie Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre (Santa Barbara County)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
A Southern Rhône-style blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Shows great flavors of berries, currants, cured meat, spices and sandalwood, and finishes dry and smooth. Could have a firmer structure, as it’s a little soft and melted.

Tercero 2009 Camp 4 Grenache Blanc (Santa Ynez Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Good acidity on this clean, vibrant wine, with interesting pineapple, orange, pear and honeysuckle flavors. If you like your wines a little sweet, try it as an interesting alternative to Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris.

Tercero 2006 Tierra Alta Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Delicious flavors in this dry Syrah. Erupts with blackberries, blueberries, carob, smoked meat and spices, wrapped into sturdy but fine tannins. Feels a bit too soft, though. Drink now.
