An exciting new project named after the cult that once lived in the Guadalupe dunes at the end of the Santa Maria River, this cool-climate Syrah from a vineyard just behind Pismo Beach shows rosemary, fennel frond, white pepper, tar and soy on the nose. The sip starts with a flash of blackberry syrup before the savory hints of charred beef and peppercorns arise. Still a young wine, this will improve with time. Matt Kettmann

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
