Petite Sirah 'La Storia' Alexander Valley |
Effusive blueberry and blackberry flavors seem almost sweet in this massively structured yet velvety-textured wine. The jammy, juicy, intense fruit flavors are so rich, they tame the impressive fine-grained tannins so the wine comes off as balanced. Best through 2040. Editors’ Choice. |

Pursued by Bear |
Syrah 'Baby Bear' Columbia Valley |
Goldilocks was an expert on balance, recognizing when everything is “just right.” She would have loved this Baby Bear. Aromas feature juicy blackberries, lemon zest, honey and bacon fat—just the bear necessities. Blackberry jam, dark chocolate, beeswax and lavender flavors are equally ursine optimal. Editors’ Choice. |

With a steady column of delicate bubbles, this sparkling wine has aromas of green apple, rising bread and coffee bean. It is bright on entry, with Granny Smith apple and lemon zest flavors that are joined by notes of cocoa butter, hazelnut and a touch of espresso. A sense of textural complexity on the palate dissolves into a bright citrus finish. Hidden Gem. |
