Lake Chelan 2009 Rivers Bend Vineyard Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Lots of licorice and vanilla, coffee and dark chocolate notes are found, reflecting its 22 months spent in French oak. The fruit is definitely consigned to the back row, but there’s plenty of luscious, chocolatey flavor.

Lake Chelan 2009 Malbec (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Dark and pruny, with a superripe, smoky finish, this seems to be at or quite near its peak. It’s 100% Malbec, and it spent almost two full years in French oak.

Lake Chelan 2006 Maximum III Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $45
About three fifths Merlot, the rest a blend of Cabernet, Cab Franc and Syrah, this commemorates the winery’s tenth vintage. It shows a substantial amount of oak—smoky and chewy and tannic—with tart red fruits leaving a trailing impression of raspberry candy.

Lake Chelan 2008 Pinot Noir (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A blend of estate-grown Pinot Noir and Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which somewhat mutes the expression of the Pinot Noir grape. The Cab seems to thicken the tannins, which quickly wrap around some rather light and delicate cranberry and cherry fruit.

Lake Chelan 2009 Stormy Mountain White (Lake Chelan)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
An off-dry blend of Viognier, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer and Riesling, this has a full midpalate with plenty of peach and apricot fruit. From there it stays simple and slightly sweet right through the finish.

Lake Chelan 2008 Rivers Bend Vineyard Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $28
A very light Syrah, with pleasant watermelon and raspberry fruit, that hangs in there until the fairly soft tannins take over.

Lake Chelan 2010 Sweet Riesling (Lake Chelan)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Not really sweet, and not entirely Riesling (the blend includes 13% Gewürztraminer and 10% Pinot Gris), this off-dry wine tastes like fresh squeezed apple juice, lightly sweetened.

Lake Chelan 2009 Sweet Riesling (Lake Chelan)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Though labeled sweet, this has just enough acidity to feel off-dry in the mouth. It brings a mix of pear and peach, apple and orange peel flavors, which fade rather quickly into a flat finish.
