Tranche Rosé -2010 (WE-134809)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

The best rosé of the year? Could be. It’s difficult to review a wine that you just want to slug down, it’s so good. Gorgeous color, smooth, fresh, ripe, mixed stone fruits across a lush palate, and a clean entry and exit. 1 Note

Gifford Hirlinger Red Blend -2008 (WE-130989)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This deceptively named and priced wine is a gem. It’s all estate-grown, and the blend is a fascinating combination of Merlot, Cabernet and Malbec, with a dollop of Tinta Cao, Tempranillo and Petit Verdot. Dark and demonstrative, it has a seductive nose of black fruits, toast and coffee. Currants and black cherries are wreathed in smoke, and the suppleness grows into a lengthy and satisfying finish. Many wines at twice the price would like to be this good. 1 Note

Overbluff Cellars Sémillon -2009 (WE-130352)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This is pure Sémillon, barrel fermented in new American oak, from a new, Spokane-based winery. Sémillon makes some of the best white wines in Washington, though consumer interest has been tepid. This shows the barrel influence with a rich coconut flavor, wrapped into sleek fruit flavors of white peach, green apple and a hint of cucumber. 1 Note

JLC Merlot -2005 (WE-130992)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Why a 2005 vintage Merlot from this excellent vineyard is just being released six years later is one of those mysteries of wine. But it’s a fine bottle, with plenty of life ahead. The tannins are softening up, and the fruit is smooth and ripe, with berries and plums and cassis. There is a generous wash of caramel and mocha also, and it’s well-integrated and drinking at its peak. 1 Note

Nodland Cellars Bordeaux-style Red Blend -2008 (WE-134751)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This is Merlot, with a little Cab Franc and Malbec in the blend; fragrant and soft, with incense and cinnamon in the nose and the mouth. The fruit is dark–– blackberry and black cherry––and the tannins lightly grainy. A nice toasty finish and a lick of espresso firm it up through the finish. 1 Note

Mannina Cellars Bordeaux-style Red Blend -2008 (WE-131017)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Similar to last year’s Bordeaux blend, the 2008 is 55% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 27% Cab Franc. Forward and round, with broad strawberry fruit flavors. This is immediately accessible, likeable and softly appealing. 1 Note

Basel Cellars Claret -2008 (WE-130964)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A step forward in this vintage, with a pretty nose offering blackberry and truffle notes. Flavors are a mix of fruit and herb, dried leaf, tea and cherry tobacco. It grabs your attention, then thins out a bit too quickly in the finish. But lots of potential, and probably a good chance to improve over the next couple of years. 1 Note

JLC Cabernet Sauvignon -2005 (WE-130993)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A mirror image of the winery’s 2005 Merlot, this reverses the proportions, with Cabernet making up 90% of the blend. Straightforward black cherry fruit is accompanied with ashy tannins, not too rough. Though balanced, it’s a thin wine, without much depth or texture. 1 Note

Rulo Chardonnay -2009 (WE-133383)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Young and still a bit yeasty, with the flavors still integrating. The toasty barrel and bourbon flavors are matched to medium acids and stone fruits. This needs more time in the bottle to show all its strengths. 1 Note

Overbluff Cellars Syrah -2008 (WE-130353)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Sourced from Les Collines and Spofford Station, this pure Syrah opens with classic Walla Walla flavors of compost and strawberries. It’s full in front, thin in the back, fading into a rather tight, lightly herbal, astringent finish, with an echo of vitamin pill. More bottle age may broaden it out a bit, but best to decant it. 1 Note
