  1. Chateau Ste. Michelle Harvest Select Sweet Riesling

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#29432

    WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 10/22
    This stylish white has a gewurz-like spice along with flavors of ripe pineapple and guava. An herbaceous celery-leaf herbal note keeps the wine focused and the finish lean.
    WE8787 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2022
    Nestea Lemon Iced Tea aromas are out front, followed by flower and ripe peach. Medium-sweet stone-fruit and lime flavors follow. There is much to enjoy. (Sean P. Sullivan)

  2. Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon

    2020 / 750 ml. | Item#44604

    WE8989 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/31/2022
    Cabernet Sauvignon plus a small percentage of Merlot and Syrah adds up to a big “bang for the buck” experience. Black-cherry, dark-chocolate and orange aromas are flanked by wee bits of well-worn leather and roasted red bell pepper. The wine has grippy tannins and soft acidity to match up with gobs of blackcap-raspberry and blueberry flavors. Little touches of cedar and mocha powder add interest. (Michael Alberty)
    WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 12/22
    Dark and woolly with black-cherry and tobacco flavors and modest wood notes, this is generous and complex for its price.

  3. Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#99309

    SP8888 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2022
    Sleek and steely, with vibrant lime, kiwifruit and grapefruit flavors that finish with snap. Drink now. 735,000 cases made. (Tim Fish)
    WE8888 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2022
    Aromas of fresh peach and flower lead to stone-fruit flavors that are well balanced. The concentration is lighter than the aromas might suggest, though it’s lovely. (Sean P. Sullivan)
    WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 06/22
    Chateau Ste. Michelle makes the best bang-for-buck riesling out there, period. This one leads with complex scents of celery and passion fruit, along with a candied peach note. It’s off-dry with a thrust of sweetness that’s broad and appealing.

  5. Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling

    2021 / 750 ml. | Item#35285

    WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2022
    This wine is consistently one of the best values in the world, and the latest vintage does not disappoint. The aromas enchant, with notes of Nestea Lemon Iced Tea, peach, citrus, lime leaf and honeysuckle. Dry, straight-down-the fairway lime and other citrus flavors follow. The balance is impressive. (Sean P. Sullivan)
    WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 10/22
    Ste. Michelle’s Dry Riesling is a benchmark for the category, lean with scents of lemon and a hint of peach, flavors that are juicy and light, with refreshing acidity for an afternoon sip.

  7. Pursued by Bear Baby Bear Syrah

    2018 / 750 ml. | Item#57793

    SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2022
    Impeccably balanced and refined yet plump with personality, this red offers multilayered blueberry and huckleberry flavors accented by black olive and smoky cracked pepper. Finishes with rich, polished tannins. Drink now through 2030. 237 cases made. (Tim Fish)
    JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, August 9, 2022
    A tad reductive on the nose, so be sure to let this breathe. Hot stones, wild herbs, ripe plums, blackberries and vanilla on the nose. Full-bodied with fine tannins. Vibrant and complex. Atop the core of ripe dark fruit there is ground baking spice, oregano and white pepper. Very steady. Drink or hold.
    WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 7/1/2022
    Fruit and barrel intertwine on the aromas, with notes of char, roasted coffee bean, vanilla and dark fruit. The palate is creamy in feel, showing intensity and sophistication. Baking spice notes linger on the finish. Oak plays a prominent part but plays it well. (Sean P. Sullivan)
    JD91+91+ pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 7/9/2022
    Ripe black fruits, smoked herbs, graphite, and spicy, peppery herb and floral notes emerge from the 2018 Syrah Baby Bear, a medium-bodied, elegant, incredibly pretty, balanced Syrah that can be drunk today or cellared for 8–10 years. This estate continues to play at a very high level, and this is another terrific wine. (Jeb Dunnuck)
    WS9191 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 02/22
    This burly wine has so much richness that, in all your luxuriating over it, you may overlook the woodland scents of mushrooms, the amaro flavors and foresty tannins. Winemaker Daniel Wampfler has managed to build a great deal of complexity into a big syrah.

  9. K Vintners The Beautiful Syrah

    Powerline Vineyard
    2018 / 750 ml. | Item#56220

    JD9797 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 5/6/2021
    The 2018 Syrah The Beautiful Powerline Vineyard comes from a vineyard outside of Walla Walla, in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. It was not destemmed and was brought up in neutral, larger barrels. An exotic nose of ripe blue and black fruits, lavender, sappy flowers, and herbes de Provence-like nuances give way to a medium to full-bodied, richly textured, structured wine with a mouth-filling, layered, meaty style that builds nicely with time in the glass. There’s always a sappy, almost herbal edge to this beauty, and it ages beautifully. Feel free to open bottles any time over the coming 15–20 years. It would certainly be hard to pick out in a lineup of top Northern Rhône Syrahs. (Jeb Dunnuck)
    SP9595 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2022
    A potent red, deeply structured yet dynamic, with blackberry, crushed stone, cured meat and black olive accents that gather richness and polish toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. 1,128 cases made.
    VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2022
    The 2018 Syrah The Beautiful is clone 470 with a touch of Viognier co-fermented, aged in 30% new French oak puncheons before bottling. The Viognier brings beautiful honeysuckle tones alongside crème de violette and suggestions of baking spices. The salinity here is outstanding as blackberry compote, black tea and exotic spices mingle with the seamless texture and gorgeous length. Enjoy this outstanding bottling over the next eight-plus years.

  10. K Vintners The Hidden Syrah

    Northridge Vineyard
    2013 / 750 ml. | Item#44174

    RP9797 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Jun 2016
    Reminding me of a Northern Rhone Syrah from the Le Meal lieu-dit on Hermitage Hill, the 2013 Syrah The Hidden Northridge Vineyard comes entirely from the Northridge Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope, was fermented with 100% whole clusters and aged in mostly neutral oak. It offers thrilling notes of black raspberries, toasted bread, caramelized meats and licorice in a full-bodied, ultra-pure, supple, incredibly sexy style. Possessing building, fine tannin, it needs a lengthy decant if drinking anytime soon, but this utterly seamless, perfectly balanced beauty will offer upward of two decades of overall longevity.
    WE9595 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 2/1/2017
    Aromas of pomegranate, black fruit, herb and barrel spice lead to rich seamless palate-coating dark-fruit flavors. It’s hedonistic but retains a sense of balance along with an unabashed deliciousness.
    SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2016
    Broad, generous and opulent, with raspberry, black cherry and rhubarb flavors that maintain momentum into a long and supple finish, picking up hints of dill and black tea. Best from 2018 through 2023. 760 cases made.

    A zesty, toasty red, with medium-bodied currant and black cherry flavors accented by espresso and spices. Ends with snappy tannins. Drink now through 2028. 145,000 cases made. (Tim Fish)
    WE8888 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 11/1/2022
    Aromas of rose petal, dried herb, chocolate and cherry lead to pleasing dark-fruit and chocolate flavors that paint around the edges, considerably lighter in the middle. What’s there impresses and delivers a lot of value. (Sean P. Sullivan)

    2019 / 750 ml. | Item#57311

    JS9696 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Friday, April 22, 2022
    Ripe currants, plums and suede on the nose. Full-bodied with chewy, fruit soaked tannins. The palate is driven by fresh acidity that carries the dark fruit through the long, satisfying finish. Rich yet toned and focused.Tobacco and melted chocolate. Intense. 89% cabernet sauvignon, 8% petit verdot and 3% cabernet franc. Best after 2026.
    SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 30, 2022

  14. Pursued by Bear Cabernet Sauvignon

    2019 / 750 ml. | Item#59351

    SP9494 pts. - Wine Spectator - Web only – 2023
    A dynamic Cabernet that shows polish and tension, along with expressive blackberry, mocha, espresso and dusky spices that drive toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032. 473 cases made. (Tim Fish)
    VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2023
    The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon grumbles up from the glass with a darkly alluring mix of black currants, crushed ashen stone and hints of mocha. This soothes with silken waves of mineral-tinged dark red fruit and sweet spice as grippy tannins slowly mount toward the close. While structured and leaving the palate saturated in primary concentration, the 2019 maintains a wonderfully energetic feel as nuances of dried black cherry and tobacco slowly fade. Give this a few years of cellaring to allow its oak to integrate and then drink heartily over the next decade. (Eric Guido)

  15. Canvasback Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon

    2018 / 750 ml. | Item#57520

    VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2022
    Rich and delicious to consume now, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain shows off ripe blackberry, black cherry and scorched earth tones on the palate. Full-bodied, with good finesse and depth, this youthful Cabernet Sauvignon will provide drinking enjoyment over the next decade.
    RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 14th Oct 2021
    The 2018 Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon starts with a firm, dusty and juicy nose with aromas of tasty black cherry, wilted lavender and roses with elements of redcurrants and crème de cassis. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is juicy and features dusty tannins, with flavors of black plum and juicy black Raspberry skin across the mid-palate. The Cabernet concludes with firm, tannic edge and a lingering flavor of crème de violette. This rested for 20 months in French oak, 40% new, and represents a great value for the price. 252,000 bottles were filled.
    SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Apr 30, 2022
    Structured yet supple, with vibrant black cherry, toasty mocha and spice flavors that finish with polished tannins. Drink now through 2028. 21,755 cases made.
