Ste. Chapelle 1996 Reserve Syrah
- Best Buy
- $15
Idaho? You bet, and a pretty good wine it is. Lots of gamy fruit and plenty of extract. It’s a pretty wine, marred only by a finish that ideally should be a tad longer. Still, it’s a very good wine, and its origin and quality will surprise many if tasted blind.

Ste. Chapelle 2001 Special Harvest Johannisberg Riesling
- Best Buy
- $10
From the winery’s best lots of Riesling, this special selection definitely acquires an extra dimension of flavor beyond the excellent “regular” bottling. Bursting with ripe, juicy fruit, it balances its intense flavors atop a delicate, graceful frame. Best Buy. —P.G.

Spicy and substantial, this authoritative Riesling snaps into tight focus around apple and melon flavors. Hints of clove and ginger add complexity.

Colter's Creek 2010 Riesling
- Best Buy
- $10
A little reticent on the nose, but opens up generously in the mouth. It’s off-dry (3% residual sugar), with a flavorful, round mix of citrus, tangerine and nectarine fruits. Full-bodied and lingering, it sails into a clean, tangy finish.

Ste. Chapelle 2001 Dry Gewürztraminer
- Best Buy
- $6
This is quite dry, as the label indicates, and nicely scented with light floral notes. Citrus fruit flavors run through an elegant, textured wine that definitely wants food to go with. Best Buy. —P.G.

Ste. Chapelle 2001 Johannisberg Riesling
- Best Buy
- $6
Off-dry fruit conjures up flavors of grapes, apricots, peaches and even kumquats! A balanced, sensuous wine, it has no rough acid or over-the-top tropical fruit flavors. Long and silky. Best Buy. —P.G.

Ste. Chapelle 2001 Dry Riesling
- Best Buy
- $6
Riesling has always been a strength of this winery, and this wine clearly shows why. It has a lightness and delicacy missing from most other domestic Riesling, yet it is not simple. Its complex, subtle, food-friendly flavors are right on the money. Best Buy. —P.G.

Ste. Chapelle 2000 Winemaker's Series Merlot
- Best Buy
- $10
Fairly tannic, this Merlot has some ripe, even sweet, cherry fruit. It’s done in a light style, but it feels and tastes ripe, which means the winemaker knew what he was doing. A lovely effort that takes full advantage of the character of the region’s fruit. —P.G.
