California's "Up and Coming" Red Wines

Cabernet Sauvignon is king. And Pinot Noir is close behind, still benefiting from the effects of the movie Sideways. 
But, there are new reds waiting in the wings.  The quality of domestic Syrah, Grenache and blends has been exceptional, and ratings have been off the charts.
Many of the best producers are from California's Central Coast, but, you're also seeing great wines from Washington State and activity in Northern California.
Some of the top producers have already attained cult status and are commanding prices of $100+ per bottle. Sine Qua Non, Saxum and Alban are a few of the cult wineries that come to mind. Oh yeah, they're almost impossible to get. That's when you know you've hit the "big time" - every one's clamoring for your wines, and there're only a few happy campers out there who are getting them.
Here are a few favorites, in stock at The Market:
2010 Maison Bleue Grenache, $38 - 93 Points
2009 Shane The Unknown Syrah,  $39 - 94 Points
2009 Gorman Pixie Syrah, $43 - 94 Points
2007 Big Basin Odeon Syrah, $43 - 94 Points (Syrah/Cabernet blend)
2009 Wind Gap Griffin's Lair Syrah, $52 - 95 Points
