Palouse 2009 Aah Syrah
- $36
Very dark in both color and flavor, this single-vineyard Syrah is loaded with smoke, earth, licorice, espresso and cacao notes. There is enough tight, tangy black fruit to create balance in the focused midpalate. A lick of citrus adds lift to the finish.

Palouse 2009 Red Satin Cabernet Sauvignon
- $39
Sourced from the Dineen Vineyard in the Rattlesnake Hills, this pure Cabernet sports generous plum and berry flavors that are lushly coated in dark notes of espresso, cacao and licorice. There is an underpinning of rock, adding structure and suggesting that this wine could be cellared for another decade.

Palouse 2009 Dynamique Cabernet Franc
- $29
The name is a clever pun on the two vineyard sources—Dineen and Meek. Smooth and supple, this varietal wine has a round, pleasing, full-flavored and full-bodied quality that keeps the fruit front and center, while bringing in plenty of coffee and chocolate highlights.

Palouse 2011 Golden Pearl Viognier
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Light honey, lemon and grapefruit flavors blend harmoniously. The wine has good length and texture in the mouth, with a tart, pleasantly tangy finish.

Palouse 2009 Eclipse Red
- $35
Most Palouse wines are purebreds, butthis is an exception. It’s a blend of 40% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% each Cabernet Franc and Syrah. Somehow the Syrah dominates, bringing forward jammy berry and dark licorice flavors, which lead into the smooth finish that has a generous coating of mocha from having aged in one-third new French oak.

Palouse 2009 Mystique Merlot
- $29
Some opening spice and a rich coating of milk chocolate are the main pleasures is this bottling. The strawberry flavor is light and peppery, the wine solidly made but sliding into a generic style.

Palouse 2005 Eclipse Red Wine
- $42
From an old vine Yakima Valley vineyard, this Bordeaux blend shows both muscle and tenacity. The fruit is tightly coiled, with tart berry and currant set against leaf and herb. Tannins are full and carry a bit of green tea and herb in to the finish. Overall this is well made and balanced.

Palouse 2005 Dineen Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Light but still fleshy fruit flavors suggest strawberry, cotton candy and a little sweet watermelon. Acids are slightly chalky and the tannins are still not entirely assimilated. The finish carries on with some persistent cassis/black plum fruit flavor, unadorned but crisply defined.
