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 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)

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)

Mark Ryan 2007 Lonely Heart Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $75
The first reserve from this winery, this is the most structured, dense and tightly layered Mark Ryan wine to date. It has the density and compact structure of Quilceda Creek, with perhaps just a shade less concentration. Aromatically complex, you can pick out early details of seed, coffee, pepper, chocolate and tobacco around the dense cassis, plum and cherry fruit…  — P.G.  (11/1/2010)

Mark Ryan 2008 Dead Horse Red (Red Mountain)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $45
Top 100 Cellar Selections 2011 Score Chasers: USA 2011
This is the first wine to be blended each year, though it is not labeled a reserve. The new vintage has amazing depth, running down through a litany of red and black fruits, into veins of earth and tannin and graphite, and finishing with densely textured barrel notes of toast, coffee and bitter chocolate. Beautifully proportioned, deep and cellarworthy.  — P.G.  (9/1/2011)

Quilceda Creek 2008 Galitzine Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $98
Quilceda Creek’s single vineyard Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon has the heft and structure for decades of aging; to drink it anytime soon is folly. Massively oaky, spicy and loaded with chunky ripe fruit, it’s full-flavored and big-boned; a young, raw Cab with unlimited potential.  — P.G.  (2/1/2012)

Doyenne 2008 Grand Ciel Vineyard Syrah (Red Mountain)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $60
Certainly the finest Grand Ciel Syrah to date, this is a full-flavored, complete wine, loaded with pure fruit flavors of berry and cassis. The details pile on—a whiff of stone, a hint of chocolate, suggestions of spice, all in perfect proportion.  — P.G.  (2/1/2012)

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)
