Stonecap 2010 Estate Grown Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

  • Best Buy
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $8
Riesling is the star of an excellent lineup of Best Buys from StoneCap. Estate-grown, fragrant and complex, it sends up aromas of lemon oil, orange peel, fresh-brewed tea, pastry and powdered sugar. Mildly sweet, fruity and delicate, it surprises with exceptional length. A very fine effort from new StoneCap winemaker Kendall Mix.  — P.G.  (2/1/2012)

Stonecap 2006 Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

  • Best Buy
  1. $11
This tart and spicy Riesling captures the classic tension between sugar and acid that makes Washington the epicenter for the grape in America. It’s got spicy green apple and pear fruit, with an underlay of wet stone and citrus rind. Bracing despite its 1.6% residual sugar, it offers excellent value.  — P.G.  (5/1/2008)

Stonecap 2010 Estate Grown Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

  • Best Buy
  1. $8
The best of a very solid group of 2010 reds from StoneCap, this Syrah draws some inspiration from the Australian wines. Spicy and ripe, with lush black fruits and a lick of citrus. Vanilla and tobacco notes highlight the finish.  — P.G.  (2/1/2012)

A smooth, berry-licious and most affordable Washington Syrah. Along with bright berry and plum fruit and accents of anise, cinnamon and clove. The flavors are pure and fresh, and round out into a smooth finish.  — P.G.  (11/1/2011)

Stonecap 2010 Estate Grown Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

  • Best Buy
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $8
Very young, this is a fine follow-up to the winery’s outstanding 2009. Dark and rich, the estate-grown fruit offers far more flavor than almost any domestic Merlot in this price range. Blackberries, black cherry, smoke and espresso lead into a grainy, chocolaty, tannic finish.  — P.G.  (2/1/2012)

Stonecap 2010 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

  • Best Buy
  1. $8
Firm and tannic, this estate-grown Cabernet matches its dark fruit with a wash of vanilla and fresh tobacco. Though not as accessible as its companion reds, it has every prospect of improving over the next few years, and would be a fine match to a grilled burger.  — P.G.  (2/1/2012)
