Agree. Get bummed out on the list though since I only get offered the same thing every time.

Tall Tales Syrah

Tall Tales Syrah, its utterly unique "funk" from the deep, cobblestone soil of the Rocks at Milton-Freewater, shines so bright with savory food. Its earth and mineral qualities, contrasted beautifully by plum and currant, with a hint of black pepper, really give just the right oomph to make this wine the perfect partner for a meal (in my case, pesto soup, with a side of heavily herbed garlic-cauliflower) — 9 years ago

Merlot 2010

One of the best damn merlots I've tasted. If all merlot tasteed this good, the world would be a better place. Powerful currant and fig notes on the nose, mouth saturating tobacco, plum, and hints of cloves on the palette, all of which linger long after the swallow. Fanfreakingtastic! — 9 years ago

Wound up being the favorite during a blind tasting with a bunch of Napa Cab fanatics! Still could use some aging but it's a crowd pleaser for sure. — 9 years ago

Nice expression of Washington! Big mouthfeel, nice fruit, good finish. Group of 10 liked it but all wondered how it was given a 100 points — 11 years ago

Spring Valley Vineyard

Frederick Estate Grown Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2006

2006 vintage. 54 Cab Sauv 27 Cab Franc 10 Merlot 7 Petit Verdot 2 Malbec. Amazing how tightly-wound the structure is on this wine, considering how old it is and how long it had been open today. Grippy, woody tannins and acid-driven fruit dominate the palate. Cranberry, lingonberry, red currant, graphite, cedar, tobacco, menthol, tarragon, anise, black rocks, over-steeped black tea, walnut husk, decaying leaves. Lots going on here and definitely feels like it could have made it another 5+ years, still a behemoth in terms of structure! — 8 years ago

I actually heard of this through a wine shop we buy from in New York that ships to us called Grapes the Wine Company. The owner is Daniel Posner and has great stuff.

Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2009

Holy cow! It is true the oak on this is intense (after 2+ years in the barrel, go figure), but Jesus... This is mind blowingly good Syrah. Made by people that think tobacco is a seasoning and plums are for staining the inside of barrels (and your mouth). F'ing great wine! — 9 years ago

Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2012

Big smoky black fruit and even some beef jerky on the finish. Could use a bit of bottle age, but if previous vintages are any indication, this should be good in a couple years. — 10 years ago

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

A fabulous surprise in a bottle from Walla Walla. My boyfriend bought this on a whim and we opened the first of the bottles tonight. Decanted for about an hour and..... What a delight of a cab! Gorgeous, deep color.... Luscious fruit on the nose... Topped only by a complex mouthful of blackberry, earth and a touch of spice. Took me a while to sip through my glass as the enjoyable finish lingered!!! 😊😊 — 9 years ago

Truth be told the GF found this in my cellar and in usual treasure trove fashion picked it out with no knowledge of what it was...looked it up in my records and said "wow you know how to pick'em"! As I checked cost and reviews...well I guess we both know how to pick them!

Cayuse Vineyards

En Chamberlin Vineyard Syrah 2012

Normally the most exotic aromatically and with a firm tannin structure, the 2011 Syrah En Chamberlin doesn’t disappoint! Offering up notions of liquid herbs, bacon fat, exotic flowers and grilled meat, as well as a knockout core of sweet Syrah fruit, it possesses a full-bodied, structured mouthfeel that carries awesome purity of fruit, excellent mid-palate depth and chewy, firm tannin on the finish. — 10 years ago

Went with the Pacific NW for the big game. Aromas and notes of black fruits, pepper, and meat. Appropriately big, powerful, but agile. Terrific. — 10 years ago
