Woodinville Wine Cellars 2009 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $30

Stillwater Creek grapes anchor this outstanding Syrah. Rich cherry flavors, generously awash in cut tobacco and vanilla, gain extra complexity, with hints of smoke and a streak of dusty earth. It’s clean, with good grip, and a long, smooth finish. — P.G. (4/1/2012)

Woodinville Wine Cellars 2004 Ausonius Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $35

This young Bordeaux blend is almost impenetrable; tight, compact, dark and chewy. It sports all the tar, smoke, earth and soy flavors you could ever wish for, in a massive, grainy, thick style. To its credit, it’s not monolithic and certainly not unbalanced; it just needs more time to soften up a bit. — P.G. (3/1/2007)

Woodinville Wine Cellars 2007 Indomitable Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $40

It may be the only wine in America that quotes Mahatma Gandhi on the back label. It’s a fine effort, full, muscular and deep, with a blend of wild berries, black cherry, spicy oak, black licorice and espresso. There is plenty of barrel toast evident, but the fruit stands up well to it, supple and strong, and though it’s delicious today, it is a good cellar… — P.G. (11/1/2010)

Woodinville Wine Cellars 2008 Double Vision Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $40

This is half Syrah and half Cabernet Sauvignon, a popular style in Washington. Done well, as it is here, it marries the black fruits and herbal highlights of the Cab to the earthy, spicy flavors of Syrah. Still young and almost grapey, it is finished with ripe, substantial tannins. — P.G. (11/1/2011)

Woodinville Wine Cellars 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $18

A delightful expression of the grape, cleverly mixing 80% stainless with 20% French oak fermentation, and bringing out the best of both. Juicy and refreshing, with a tangy fruit core of citrus, grapefruit and pineapple flavors. It’s lively and acidic without being at all sour, and a pleasing, lightly toasty roundness fills out the finish. — P.G. (11/1/2011)

Woodinville Wine Cellars 2004 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $28

Dense with cherry fruit, yet shows the pleasing lift of citrusy grapefruit. Oozes power, and packed with flavor. 200 cases made. — P.G. (3/1/2007)

Woodinville Wine Cellars 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $18

Four fifths of this is stainless-steel fermented Artz vineyard (Red Mountain) fruit; the rest is from Stillwater Creek, and fermented in new French oak. It’s spicy and textural, with tangy grapefruit, melon and white peach, and just a nice hint of toast in the finish. — P.G. (11/1/2009)

Woodinville Wine Cellars 2007 Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $36

Just the second Cabernet Franc from this winery, this is a pure, 100% varietal expression, dappled with cinnamon spice, hints of coffee, softly grainy tannins, and lovely blueberry/cassis fruit. Both elegant and powerful, it marks an important step forward for the winery. The velvety mouthfeel, polished tannins and judicious barrel notes add up to a thoroughly… — P.G. (11/1/2010)
