This is mostly Tempranillo, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot comprising the rest of the blend. The nose is liquorous and the wine dark and hot—to some tasters it may seem overripe. There seems to be some residual sugar also. Flavors are sweet black cherry and light prune, along with baking spice, hints of tobacco and licorice. Though 14.3% is the listed alcohol, it feels bigger and finishes with some heat and astringent tannins.

This is mostly Tempranillo, with smaller portions of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the blend. There is plenty of acidity, some subtle suggestions of blood and fresh herb, along with pale berry fruit and soft tannins.

A serviceable Syrah, with somewhat muted blueberry and huckleberry fruit, pepper and herb. Medium concentration, with more of the herbal and stem flavors coming through in the tannins.

A five-grape Bordeaux blend, with somewhat generic fruit flavors that show a mix of leaf and raisin characteristics. It’s smooth and supple, drinking at its best right now, with finishing highlights of peppery herb.

This is a Cabernet-dominated Bordeaux blend from a variety of well-respected Yakima Valley vineyards. Despite a little sweatiness in the nose, the wine has some sleek, racy berry flavored fruit. It shows only moderate concentration in the midpalate, with juicy acids and firm tannins. The finish turns watery, a bit dilute, with raspberry and pale red currant notes.

This pure Syrah from a new Washington winery has the meaty, sappy, berry-laden richness in the nose that promises good things in the glass. The fruit is tart and true, with balanced acids and fine tannins. It has a pleasing delicacy and some lovely details of Provencal herbs and smoked meats.
