(4/15/2020) "The 2016 Syrah Baby Bear checks in as 100% Syrah that was destemmed and brought up in two-thirds new French oak. It has a classic Syrah nose of black raspberries, leafy herbs, spring flowers, and peppered game. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, elegant Syrah with fine tannins, good acidity, and a great finish. It will drink well for a decade. Maturity: 2020 - 2030"

Betz "Cuvee Frangin" Columbia Valley Proprietary Red Blend 2014
90
Vinous, Josh Raynolds
89-92
Wine Advocate
(6/29/2016) "First made in 2012, the entry level 2014 Cuvee Frangin is the result of the estate focus on quality, where they cut the yields for all of their top cuvees back by 30%; all of that newly declassified juice goes into this cuvee. A great introduction into the quality of the estate, with lots of ripe, sexy black fruits, brambly herbs and chocolate, it's medium to full-bodied, has good freshness, and shows hints of earth and truffle with time in the glass. It will keep through 2024 easily, although there's absolutely no need to delay gratification either."

(8/31/2020) "Refined and well-built, with expressive black cherry, espresso and herbes de Provence flavors that pick up richness on the way to polished tannins. Drink now through 2029. 2,174 cases made."

(4/15/2020) "From a site in the Yakima Valley and brought up in neutral barrel and concrete, the 2018 Viognier Art Den Hoed reveals a medium gold hue as well as beautiful notes of orange blossom, ripe peach, and a touch of quince. With medium-bodied richness, the classic Viognier texture, and a great finish, it's a layered, textured, balanced Viognier that does everything right."

Borne of Fire "The Burn" Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
The new vintage of last year's Cabernet sensation has arrived!

(4/11/2019) "Just bottled, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon The Burn checks in as a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Zinfandel, which is a variety you don't see much in Washington. It's healthy ruby/purple color is followed by a seamless, balanced, downright delicious red that has loads of sweet red and blue fruits, hints of spring flowers, medium body, no hard edges, and a great texture. I don't think it's going to make old bones but it's a great value to enjoy over the coming 4-5 years (and I wouldn't be surprised to see it keep longer)."

Barter & Trade "Volume Three" Columbia Valley Merlot 2017
Andrew Jones is an old school winemaker with small production, buying grapes from all up and down the Columbia Valley!
90+
Our Score
(3/2019) Merlot is back! If you haven't tried one in a while, then this gem from Washington State needs to get into your glass today! Andrew Jones began his Barter & Trade label with Merlot. This latest release, Volume Three, is off-the-charts delicious. While the vineyard sourcing must be kept secret, we are told that the source winery sells its own Merlot for over $30 a bottle! And boy does this one taste like it. A blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Syrah, with luxurious barrel aging in 65% new French oak and 35% seasoned (previously used) French oak, the wine explodes with ripe fruit flavors of black cherries and plum layered with a dash of black pepper, dark baking spices, vanilla and mocha. All this, and a long, complex, finish. For Merlot drinkers, Cabernet drinkers and lovers of delicious red wine, this is a must-try!

(6/1/2020) "This is a really delicious cabernet with lots of blackcurrants, dark chocolate and hazelnuts with some wet earth, too. Fresh and vivid. Full-bodied, tight and focused. Extremely long and flavorful. 95% cabernet sauvignon, 2% petit verdot, 2% malbec and 1% syrah. Drinkable now, but better in 2021. Screw cap."

Charles Smith "Substance" Columbia Valley Chardonnay 2019
90
Our Score
(11/2020) The winemaking team at Substance do a great job with this native yeast fermented Chard, coming from a cooler vintage that allowed the grapes long hang time on their vines - not picking until late October. This young wine benefits greatly from aeration, go ahead and give it a shake, trust us! When you do, you are rewarded with a full-bodied, richly textured new world Chardonnay that delivers unctuous notes of yellow apple, creamed corn, salted butter, white chocolate and just a bit of vanilla. The 25% new barrel implemented here is relatively shy, revealing a style that is more buttery than toasty. This is a thoughtfully crafted, big-bodied, intense Chardonnay that gives you a lot of classic flavor on the palate for its modest price. That's the Washington State way!

Dead Canyon Ranch Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
90+
Our Score
(9/2020) This is the best $10 American Cabernet we've tasted in many, many years. Sourced entiretly from estate vines in the Horse Heaven Hills appellation of Washington State, all owned and farmed by the Mercer family, this wine tastes like it should sell for $20 or more. While the wine leads with juicy and fresh dark fruits, including blackberry, plum and blueberry, there is a bright mineral theme as well as real oak tones that add impressive complexity. Flavors of vanilla, creme brulee, cocoa, vegetable leaf and wet leaves sit atop a legit frame of medium tannins and medium-plus acidity, further legitimizing the over-delivering nature of the wine. This is real Cabernet, and our price is lower than what this wine is meant to sell for. A potential one-off that should be bought by the case and enjoyed over the next 3-4 years.
