Salitage 2002 Red (Pemberton)
- $32
A brick hue announces that this wine has seen a few years in the cellar, and that’s all to the good in this case. The nose has developed a complex tangle of leather, tree bark and forest floor notes with just a hint of cherry. Fruit is a bit lacking, but soft, mouth-coating tannins that lead to a long, tobacco-flavored finish make for a great final impression. Drink now.

Salitage 2005 Pinot Noir (Pemberton)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
A pretty, relatively lightweight Pinot Noir, this offering from Western Australia starts off with hints of coffee and sour cherries, then develops more herbal notes and brown sugar with air. Flavors of cola, tart cherries and root vegetables finish a bit short.

- Online Exclusive

A lightweight, supple Pinot with decent varietal definition, Salitage’s Treehouse Pinot features slightly herbal notes of brown sugar and cherries, then fades quickly on the finish. Drink now.

Salitage 2006 Unwooded Chardonnay (Pemberton)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
Cream and lemon notes mix with a faintly dirty character on the nose. The full, lush palate is infused with butter and cream flavors but is saved from flabbiness by a hit of fresh acidity; falls a bit flat on the finish.

Salitage 2006 Treehouse Chardonnay (Pemberton)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Mineral and apple notes dominate the subtle but pretty nose, bringing the wines of the Macon to mind. But the palate lacks purity of fruit and finishes a bit short.

Salitage 2005 Treehouse Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot-Cabernet Franc Red (Pemberton)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Seems prematurely aged, with slight bricking already apparent at the rim and leafy, tomatoey aromas and flavors. Not bad, just old before its time.
