DaMa 2007 Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $18

Ash Hollow vineyard is the fruit source for this herbal, cool-site Syrah. If you like peppery herbs, along with tart raspberry fruit, this is for you. Great purity and concentration keeps this wine alive in the mouth through a long finish. — P.G. (5/1/2010)

DaMa 2006 Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $16

Here is yet another Washington Riesling that shows how good these wines can be. This is well beyond the sweet and fruity style of the tasting room wines; here are layers of stone fruits, density and weight, length and detail. Once in the mouth this explodes with flavor and keeps bringing the oranges, peaches, apricots, nectarines and apples to the table. — P.G. (12/31/2007)

DaMa 2010 Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $21

A switch of vineyard sources—to Sagemoor and Conner Lee—has led to the best Chardonnay yet from DaMa. Rich, full and fleshy, this is a riot of stone fruits. In the mouth it’s smooth and luscious, with a pleasing, textural finish. — P.G. (12/15/2011)

points

DaMa 2007 Cowgirl Cab Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $21

The Cowgirl Cab, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is DaMa’s most popular offering. Loaded with bright, brambly berry fruits, licorice and loam, it’s notable also for smooth, silky tannins. — P.G. (5/1/2010)

points

DaMa 2009 Viognier (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $21

This is a difficult wine to evaluate. It’s a dark gold, almost tawny, and definitely oxidized. Don’t look for fresh fruit, but you will find deep, spicy, lingering complexity with dry, dusty, Muscat-like flavors. Two bottles tasted; similar results. — P.G. (12/15/2011)

points

DaMa 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $30

This pure Cabernet is a stubborn beast—a full 24 hours after being opened it was still shut down tightly, almost as if bottle shocked. Just a hint of leather in the nose, with extremely compact black fruits and firm tannins. — P.G. (5/1/2010)

points

DaMa 2009 Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $21

A full, fruity, slightly hot Chardonnay. The barrel aging—all French, 60% new—brings the expected toastiness. This is a solidly made, fruit-forward style, immediately ready for drinking. — P.G. (10/1/2010)

points

DaMa 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $30

The blend includes 10% each portions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Cherry and plum fruit flavors, with medium concentration and backing acidity. — P.G. (12/15/2011)
