Trenza 2007 Tinto Red (San Luis Obispo County)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $33
Unusual, distinctive, and a wonderful first release from this new brand, a member of the Niven (Baileyana) family of wines. A blend of Tempranillo, Mourvèdre and Grenache, it’s utterly dry, richly tannic and well-structured, with earthy flavors of cherries, blueberries, herbs, unsweetened cocoa, black pepper and other dusty spices. A brilliant and provocative wine…

Trenza 2008 Blanco White (Edna Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
A wonderfully rewarding wine. It shows the dryness and crisp acidity you want in a savory white, and the fruit flavors, of peaches, grapefruits and green apples, are controlled and subtle. There’s just a touch of oak, which adds softness, and of creamy lees. Brilliant and distinctive. Albariño and Grenache Blanc.

Trenza 2008 Rosado Rosé (San Luis Obispo County)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
After all those sweet, heavy California rosés, here’s one that truly brims with Provençal-style dry elegance. It’s a wonderful wine, with crisp acidity framing herb and tobacco flavors and suggestions of tart cherries, orange rind and vanilla. Impeccable. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.

Trenza 2008 Tinto Red (San Luis Obispo County)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This unusual blend of Syrah, Grenache, Tempranillo and Mourvèdre is the kind of red wine that needs spicy, salty beef or lamb to balance it. It’s tannic, acidic and peppery, with a roasted meat edge to the blackberry fruit. Calls to mind Italian-style fare, rich in olive oil and cheeses.

Trenza 2009 Blanco White (Edna Valley)
- $20
What a nice wine to drink with almost anything that wants a white wine, from chicken or pork to potstickers. It’s bone dry and brisk in Edna Valley acidity, with flavors of lemons, limes, green apples, minerals and white flowers.
