Michael Florentino 2008 Counoise (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A tightly wound red wine, with cranberry and pomegranate fruit rolling into sour cherry flavors. Juicy and jammy, it will appeal most to those who don’t mind a bit of heat in the finish.

Michael Florentino 2009 Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $26
Restrained, with sharp acidity and cranberry-flavored fruit, this tart and tight effort should improve further with more bottle age. One third of the barrels were new French oak.

Michael Florentino 2008 Miscolato Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Two thirds Grenache, the rest a mix of Tempranillo, Syrah and Counoise, this smooth and fruity red has a pleasing, lively mouthfeel. It carries a hint of moist, clean earth, and finishes with a lick of mocha.

Michael Florentino 2009 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $28
The best of the 2009 reds from this producer, the Syrah has sappy red-fruit flavors, with underpinnings of licorice and espresso. The tannins remain hard and unyielding, so give it a good decanting.

Michael Florentino 2008 Tempranillo (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Generic red fruit flavors are set in a light wine with a slightly chalky finish. In the nose there are hints of volatility and leather, but it’s perfectly quaffable.

Michael Florentino 2009 Sangiovese (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $26
Purely varietal, this is a soft and peppery wine, with tastes of berry and chocolate. Despite the relatively high alcohol, it feels light and simple, without depth or complexity.

Michael Florentino 2009 Mélange Noir Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $20
A Rhône-inspired mélange, this mixes Syrah, Counoise, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Nothing dominates or stands out; it’s a monolith of red fruit flavor, featuring a streak of dark chocolate and a hint of earth.
