Tamarack Cellars 2008 DuBrul Vineyard Reserve Red (Rattlesnake Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
DuBrul is perhaps the single most sought-after vineyard in the entire Yakima Valley, and at this price this Tamarack selection is an absolute steal. Pomegranate, blueberry, black cherry and cassis notes lead into a full-flavored wine that remains concise and perfectly defined. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc.

Tamarack Cellars 2008 Seven Hills Vineyard Reserve Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- Editors' Choice
- $50
This is a generous mouthful of Cabernet, with just small amounts of Merlot and Carmenère in the blend. Chewy, dusty, grainy, tannic and thoroughly delicious, it has the deeply flavored berry and cassis fruit to more than match the French oak. The fruit is wreathed in layers of smoke, charcoal and ash—all in proportion.

Tamarack Cellars 2009 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Syrah (Red Mountain)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Here’s a great Syrah from a vineyard not specifically known for this grape. It immediately impacts the palate with concentrated flavors of raspberry and cassis swathed in coffee liqueur, dark chocolate and a hint of red licorice. This has great concentration and length; drink it over the next 6–8 years.

Tamarack Cellars 2008 Sagemoor Vineyards Reserve Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $50
Half Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bacchus Vineyard, and one-quarter each Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the Weinbau Vineyard, this polished, dense blend reveals the complexity of old vines. A mix of perfectly ripened strawberry and raspberry is accented with a barrel flavor of coconut cream pie.

Tamarack Cellars 2007 DuBrul Vineyard Reserve Red (Rattlesnake Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- $45
This single-vineyard blend’s flavors run through all the berries right into dense cassis. It gathers more strength as it rolls through the midpalate, layering in earth and black cherries, with char and toast more noticeable than in the other Tamarack reds.

Tamarack Cellars 2008 Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Editors' Choice
- $28
Tamarack blends grapes from an astonishing number of sites scattered across the length and breadth of the Columbia Valley, and yet makes wines that are distinctive, polished, generous, and focused. The 2008 Merlot includes 5% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc. Its structure is firmly Cab-like, its fruit broadly displayed across the midpalate, a mix of ripe…

Tamarack Cellars 2007 Sagemoor Vineyards Reserve Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive

This very limited reserve mixes old-vine fruit from the Bacchus and Weinbau vineyards (all under the Sagemoor umbrella). Berries, cherries and cassis draw you into a dusty, detailed wine with nuances of herb and earth. A lick of rich dark chocolate ends it with a flourish.
