Is there a more under the radar quality producer of Bordeaux varietals in CA?

2008 Calluna Vineyards Calluna Estate - USA, California, Sonoma County, Chalk Hill (5/24/2014)
Double decanted. Throwing lots of sediment. Deep, dark color, ruby color at the edges. Showing aromas of violets, graphite, cassis, black cherry and cedar. Juicy black fruits on the palate with lively acid and big broad polished tannins. Additional notes of mineral, florals, spice and tobacco. Very nice depth and length, although the flavors are still wound tight after a few hours. This might have actually shut down a bit since I had it last two years ago, but still fun to drink. I’d give this a little time. Excellent wine, excellent producer. (92 pts.)
