Rulo 2007 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $20

Superb fruit highlights this tight, sculpted Syrah. It’s extremely dense, with deep and intense raspberry and cassis fruit flavor, augmented with coffee grounds, smoke and iron filings. Complex, detailed, balanced and deep—what more can a wine give you? This is drinking very young and surely needs to be decanted. But already displaying amazing power. — P.G. (8/1/2010)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Simply astonishing for its price, this toasty, rich wine matches ripe flavors of peach, red apple and light tropical fruit. Thick, juicy, and seductive, it finishes with a lick of butterscotch. — P.G. (9/1/2012)

Rulo 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)

Price $40

The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon was the only other stand-alone Cab made from Rulo. This is 100% Cabernet, and a pure expression of Red Mountain. That purity is a hallmark of Rulo; clean and expressive, with a tight focus. Dense, ripe, black fruits, black olive, earth and rock, with a kiss of spice. It’s a singularity expressed beautifully, dense and smoky and earthy… — P.G. (8/1/2009)

Rulo 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Dark and dense, this deep and compact Cabernet Sauvignon is saturated with cassis flavor. Accents of coffee grounds and dark chocolate add depth and power, and a hint of earthiness in the finish underscores its complexity and ageability. — P.G. (9/1/2012)

Rulo 2005 Silo Red Wine (Wahluke Slope)

Editors' Choice

Price $35

Young, peppery, tight, supple and extremely concentrated, this 100% Syrah has all the varietal character you want; with tightly wound raspberry and currant-based red fruit flavors. In the mouth it extends into stone, more mixed fruits, butterscotch and a tight, earthy, bone- dry tannic finish. It’s a riot of subtle flavors. — P.G. (11/1/2008)

points

Rulo 2006 Viognier (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $18

An extraordinarily intense style of Viognier, whose flavors cut deep. The sharp, edgy, focused core of lime and citrus fruits seem to last forever, supported by laser-like acids and a tongue-cleaning minerality. There is nothing bitter or hot in the finish; it’s just a super-dense and beautifully varietal Viognier from one of Washington’s best white wine producers. — P.G. (11/1/2008)

Great middle, good length. — P.G. (8/1/2009)
