Already showing signs of oxidation, this dry, dusty chardonnay tastes mostly of oak.

The nose is jammy and ripe, forward and vividly fruity, suggesting strawberry or rhubarb preserves. Nice flavors, light and elegant, with the fruit showing polish and a gentle hand with the oak. This winery is making great strides with their new releases.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

There is nothing shy about this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Thick and jammy, it showcases juicy, succulent fruit with a tart, youthful grip. It needs more time to soften and open up, but has the balance and the weight for cellaring.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Sharp, acidic and earthy, this wine shows the underripe side of Pinot Noir, with some sweet oak. The light fruit is encased in a rough, tannic, earthy shell, with an odd, minty finish.

This is a light, unassuming, quite neutral wine, cleanly made, with tart, simple fruit. A hint of herb and plenty of acid complete the picture.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This Bordeaux blend (62% Cab, 33% Merlot and 5% Cab Franc) comes from the great Champoux Vineyard in an excellent vintage. Rough, leathery and tannic, the fruit shines here; it’s big enough to take even the hard, stemmy tannins. Notes of tar, smoke and licorice wrap the blackberry fruit.

Labeled Columbia Valley, but actually from Wahluke Slope fruit, this refreshing, tart take on Chardonnay offers a palate-cleansing mix of cucumber, melon and apple-flavored fruit. Crisp acids and a phenolic kick to the finish make this a super food wine.

Solid and varietal, this puts the fruit up front, a substantial, mouthfilling plum and black cherry combo. Streaks of licorice, coffee, chocolate and smoke can be found, though exposure was minimal and the barrels were used. Well done, quite clean and a fine value.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Forward and flavorful, this brings together five different grapes from eight different vineyards, though it is mostly (70%) Wahluke Slope Cabernet Sauvignon. I found a hint of funk, cooked raisin, and lots of baking spices. Penetrating, unusual flavors, but overall not quite together.

Slightly confected scents lead into sweetly spicy fruit, leaning to purple fruits with fig and prune highlights. The acidity is spot on, and the tannins are ripe and firm. The blend includes 10% Malbec.
