This Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon blend is all stainless steel fermented, but carries some lovely spice and toasty notes along with soft, broadly fruity flavors of melon and citrus.

This toasty red blend is surprisingly rich and loaded with plum, cherry and chocolate flavors. There is a roasted, smoky quality to the finish, perhaps one reason the wines didn’t make the cut into the higher priced Sheridan lineup. But for some palates this will seem like the best bargainof them all.

There is nothing wimpy about this 100% pure Merlot. The firm core of tart berry and currant adds iron and clove highlights through a concentrated midpalate; the finish is a bit rough and hints at green tannins.

Sweet berry flavors are matched to darker notes of smoke, black olive and moist earth, softening out in a finish that hints at chocolate malt.

Pure Syrah, this is the most limited of the Kamiakin wines (in terms of production), but in many respects the star of the show. Peppery, racy and concentrated, it’s packed with blueberry, kirsch and cassis. The finish is laced with coffee liqueur flavors, suggesting a far more expensive, barrel-aged wine.

This value red is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. It’s smooth and tastes of cherries, raspberries and salmonberries, with a nice kick from the natural acids. The tannins are lightly herbal and just chewy enough to add some welcome texture to the finish. Kamiak offers excellent flavor and vintage character for the price.

This blend has a big, dark, toasty edge to the tannins, and plenty of ripe fruit. Meaty and rich, the color of ink, it skirts a pruney border, tosses in some earth and leather and soy, and overall shows plenty of power. A great drink-it-now wine.

This budget bottle comes on full-throttle, a little toasty, round and ripe with sweet apple and pineapple fruit. There is about 1% residual sugar, still plenty dry for a wide range of food, such as autumn squash or pumpkin seasoned with baking spices.

The blend is 59% Merlot, 33% Syrah, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the flavors mix well. There’s some not unpleasant volatile acidity and very tart, tangy red fruit flavors. All nicely integrated, and drinking pleasantly right now.
