Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $47

Malbec has been a shining star at this winery, but this bottling is the best yet. Estate grown, big and fruity, this wine is generously soaked in barrel flavors of spice and toast, cocoa and Bourbon. Lush and juicy, the fruit more than holds its own, and it’s nearly irresistible. — P.G. (4/1/2013)

àMaurice 2007 Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $35

This vintage has the Horiuchi artist label. Another glorious wine from the 2007 vintage, full and forward, packed with plum and purple fruits. Sweet tobacco and baking spices lead into a lush, fruit-loaded core, ripe with berries and plums. The finish—thick and textural and darkly chocolaty—wraps around polished, elegant tannins. — P.G.

Online Exclusive

Price $35

A rush of blueberry introduces this exceptional Malbec. Pure and deep, it is streaked with bark, iron, clove and dark chocolate. Impressively long and focused, this has the structure and balance to develop further in the bottle. But as a young wine, it is already delicious and utterly seductive. — P.G. (7/1/2012)

àMaurice 2010 Viognier (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $25

Superconcentrated, unctuous and lush, this mixes a note of lemon drop with a hint of ripe tropical fruit. On the palate, this shows terrific concentration, bearing hints of honey and lemon curd, with a crisp, lingering finish. — P.G. (11/1/2012)

àMaurice 2009 Fred Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $47

This estate-grown Syrah is racy, spicy and contoured, with well-polished structural facets. Raspberry, citrus and lavender scents abound, and the freshness on the palate marks this as a wine so delicious that it will be difficult to cellar. Drink it now or in five years—either way you’ll be happy. — P.G. (4/1/2013)

àMaurice 2009 Night Owl Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $47

This a Bordeaux-style blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Petit Verdot and 9% Cabernet Franc that’s made from estate-grown fruit. Perhaps it’s the altitude of the vineyard (1,400 feet) that helps to keep the alcohol from overwhelming the palate. Nothing seems overwrought in this wine, and the berry flavors show peach and cherry hints, with length to match the… — P.G. (4/1/2013)

àMaurice 2008 Viognier (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $25

Barrel fermented, pure Viognier with a vibrant core of juicy, lemon/lime fruit. There’s pink grapefruit and sweet pineapple, all set against pleasing phenolics that provide a firm framework. The mouthfeel is lush and the finish clear and lightly mineral. — P.G. (10/1/2010)
