Grand Rêve 2007 Collaboration Series Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)

  1. $75
The purity is astonishing—a ringing bell of vivid, racy blueberry, blackberry and black cherry fruit. The 100% new French oak is completely absorbed into the wine, its flavors unobtrusive. The essence of the vineyard and the grape, this is a must-taste for lovers of Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Mountain. Sleek, tight, extremely youthful but polished and dense.  — P.G.  (11/1/2010)

Quilceda Creek 2009 Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $110
Quilceda Creek’s Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a dense, exotic and luxurious nose: a mix of roasted coffee, dark fruit and Asian spice. At first it’s quite dense and unyielding, but it opens slowly over a period of days—not hours—remaining dense and compact, with a remarkable array of dark fruits and barrel flavors. As with its companion reds from…  — P.G.  (9/1/2012)

Januik 2009 Reserve Red (Red Mountain)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $65
This a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, and all of the fruit came from old vines from two of Washington’s most revered vineyards, Champoux and Weinbau. Supple and ripe, it’s packed with a brilliant flavorful mix of berries, cherries and cassis. The tannins are polished, and the barrel-derived notes of toast, cinnamon, coffee and…  — P.G.  (4/1/2013)

Andrew Will 2007 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Wine (Red Mountain)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $53
A completely different blend from the winery’s 2006 Ciel, this reflects Chris Camarda’s growing enchantment with Cabernet Franc, which is now 45% of the blend. Most of the rest is Merlot—a Right Bank style. The concept works. It captures the sleek minerality of the site, and puts the fruit into tight, laser-like focus. The wine seems almost crystalline—sharp-edged…  — P.G.  (8/1/2010)

Andrew Will 2007 Sorella Red Wine (Red Mountain)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $64
In this new vintage of Sorella, Cabernet Sauvignon is again right out front at 72% of the blend. Here the fruit seems more subdued, the wine tight, the dense tannins showing graphite and mineral more than new barrel flavors. It definitely needs decanting.  — P.G.  (8/1/2010)

Andrew Will 2002 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Wine (Red Mountain)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $55
Gloriously structured, this extraordinary effort blends 44% Merlot, 28% Cab Franc, 18% Cab Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot into a wine that reveals itself in sculpted layer upon layer of scent and flavor. Citrus peel, plum, wild berry, red currant and spice are set upon a base of rich mineral and rock, with precisely cut tannins. Hold 8–10 years.  — P.G.  (12/15/2004)

Andrew Will 2002 Annie Camarda Syrah (Red Mountain)

  1. $58
An extraordinary Syrah, from Ciel du Cheval grapes. It’s supple and silky, yet retains classic fresh raspberry, cherry and boysenberry fruit that’s bright and crisply defined by natural acids. The panoply of flavors is seamlessly woven into chocolaty tannins, with a final kick of gravelly minerality.  — P.G.  (11/15/2006)

Cadence 2004 Camerata Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $50
This is a special wine, a beautiful rendition of pure Cab from a single Red Mountain vineyard—Tapteil. It shows the power of the grape, the structural verticality, the austerity, but it is also ripe enough to stand alone and shine all by itself. This is a perfectly sculpted wine, elegant and fine, sleek and muscular. It needs time, no doubt, but it’s delicious…  — P.G.  (3/1/2007)
