O•S Winery 2006 Champoux Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Horse Heaven Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
Three quarters Cab Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, all from the Champoux vineyard. A dark, smoky, earthy wine loaded with flavors of loam, coffee grounds, baking chocolate, black cherry and cassis. Dense, detailed and delicious, this represents exceptional value.

O•S Winery 2007 Klipsun Vineyard S White (Red Mountain)
- $20
Winemaker Bill Owen (the ‘O’ in O•S) has a knack for making white wines from red wine vineyards. This pungent, ripe, stylish Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon blend is a fine example. The fruit flavors are thick and juicy— pineapple, golden apple, citrus—and the herbaceous nature of the grape has been transmuted into a sweet grassy streak, supported with mouth-searing acids…

O•S Winery 2006 Dineen Vineyard Syrah (Yakima Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
Certain Yakima valley vineyards attain a riveting complexity with Syrah—Dineen is one of them. The mix of wild berry, pomegranate syrup, coffee liqueur, composted earth, smoke and chocolate is compelling. This is Syrah that stands apart from most other New World versions, has the acid and balance to age, and the complexity to keep you coming back for another glass.

O•S Winery 2010 Champoux Vineyard Riesling (Horse Heaven Hills)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Deliciously poised between sweet and tart, much the way good Vouvray walks the same line, this single-vineyard Riesling offers deep flavors of Meyer lemon, English breakfast tea, and tangy stone fruits. Full-bodied and lingering.

O•S Winery 2007 Champoux Vineyard Riesling (Horse Heaven Hills)
- $22
Intense, spicy and loaded with grapefruit, pineapple and citrus, this has a unique intensity and power. If you distill Washington Riesling down to its essential fruit/sugar/acid components, this expresses it beautifully. At just 9.8% alcohol, it’s a definite Kabinett style, with so much acid that the 2% sugar does not signify.

O•S Winery 2008 Champoux Vineyard Riesling (Horse Heaven Hills)
- $20
Dense and spicy, this unique take on Riesling—Kabinett style at 9.5% alcohol and two percent residual sugar—shows a rarely seen strength of the iconic Champoux vineyard. Here are concentrated fruit flavors of grapefruit and pineapple, orange rind and lemon candy, continuing into a long finish with a pleasing sense of minerality. Decanting is a good idea.

O•S Winery 2010 Champoux Vineyard Cabernet Franc (Horse Heaven Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $28
This is an especially fine version of this single-vineyard Cabernet Franc; sadly, it may be awhile before we see it again as the vineyard suffered severe damage in 2011. Loaded with pure, rich cherry fruit, it adds layers of graphite, cedar and coffee over a mineral base.

O•S Winery 2008 Sheridan Vineyard Ulysses Red (Yakima Valley)
- $45
The Ulysses red has been the main calling card for this winery, and it is a distinctive wine that expresses the complexity—with no herbs barred—of Yakima Valley grapes. Woven into the heart of the wine are threads of herb, olive, pea vine and other green notes, but there are also black cherry and cassis flavors. It’s balanced and proportionate, closer to a true…
