Obelisco Estate 2008 Les Gosses Vineyard Syrah (Red Mountain)
- $30
A beautiful nose shoots up seductive aromas of herb and berry, lightly touched with barnyard in the most inviting way. A young wine, from young vines, it expresses itself more in the aromas than in the finish. But the balance is elegant and refined, the flavors full and earthy, the style reminiscent of other European-influenced Washington Syrahs such as Gramercy.

Obelisco Estate 2009 Electrum Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)
- $65
Mostly Cabernet, with a bit of Merlot and Malbec in the blend, the new Electrum shows flavors of mixed berry, plum and a hint of prune. The acids are tart, giving the wine good presence, and the balance and length are spot on.

Obelisco Estate 2009 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)
- Cellar Selection
- $40
This wine hits the palate with authority, showing pretty black-cherry and cassis flavors, and soft, slightly leathery, drying tannins. The well-structured Red Mountain fruit has the potential to age well for a decade or more.

Obelisco Estate 2009 Reserve Merlot (Red Mountain)
- $45
This is 75% Merlot, with Cabernet, Malbec and Syrah comprising the other 25%. Despite all of the components, it tastes like there is a bit of a hole. The fruit is soft and plummy, and the overall balance is excellent.
