Tessa Marie 2007 Coquette Sangiovese-Syrah (Santa Barbara County)
- $36
An offbeat blend of Sangiovese and Syrah, and quite a good wine, at that. It’s dry, medium- to full-bodied and tannic, with complex flavors of cherries, leather, tobacco, Dr. Pepper cola and peppery spices. It is high in alcohol, but wears the heat well.

Tessa Marie 2009 Grenache Blanc (Santa Barbara County)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
Rich and opulent, showing masses of honeydew melon, orange crème, vanilla and spicy flavors. Really seductive, so easy to like. A touch of oak adds just the right note of smoke. Great with roast pork.

Tessa Marie 2009 Vermentino (Santa Barbara County)
- $20
Nicely dry and acidic, giving a clean, scoury mouthfeel to this food-friendly wine. The flavors combine tart citrus fruits with vanilla, yeast, minerals and peppery spices. A crisp cocktail wine to start the meal.

Tessa Marie 2007 Sangiovese (Santa Barbara County)
- $26
Harsh and hot in the mouth, with high alcohol and tough tannins. There’s lots of rich cherry, berry and tobacco flavor, but the wine is too unbalanced to earn a higher score.
