Alexandria Nicole 2003 Destiny Ridge Vineyards Viognier (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $16
This is a producer to watch closely, as the plans include a destination winery and inn in the heart of eastern Washington wine country, and the Destiny Ridge vineyard is already showing signs of greatness, despite its youth. Plump, thick, viscous, unctuous even, this wine is packed with ripe pear, citrus and tropical fruit, and finishes with some sweetness, but no…

Alexandria Nicole 2002 Destiny Ridge Vineyards Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $24
There is a slight sweatiness to the initial aroma, but it quickly blows off and reveals a wine packed with plummy, black cherry fruit, encased in appealing new oak. Good grapes, solid winemaking, and substantial tannins, leavened by the flavors of toasted coconut.

Alexandria Nicole 2005 Destiny Ridge Vineyards Merlot (Horse Heaven Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
This is a full-throttle style of Merlot, jammy to the point of pruneyness, the flavors broad and loaded with ripe cherries, prunes, smoke, spice, licorice and cedar. Big as the fruit flavors are, the wine is proportionate, the oak applied lightly, the alcohol in balance, and the acids crisp.

Alexandria Nicole 2009 Destiny Ridge Vineyards Marsanne (Horse Heaven Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Very refreshing, this young, juicy Marsanne walks the line between citrus and green apple fruit flavors, nicely defined and clean as a whistle. The acidity is supportive but never sour; the fruit ripe but not heavy or thick. A lovely wine to explore with a variety of soft cheeses, pastas and seafood.

Alexandria Nicole 2009 Destiny Ridge Vineyards Roussanne (Horse Heaven Hills)
- $28
Scents of vanilla, peach, and coconut milk lead into well-defined fruit flavors that run from stone fruits to light tropical. There’s plenty of acidity, good grip to the palate, and the wine shows heft through the middle. The finish fades gracefully with pleasing minerality.

Alexandria Nicole 2002 Destiny Ridge Vineyards Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $27
After some initial burnt matchstick aromas blow off, this wine reveals pretty scents of raspberries, blackberries and minerals. Juicy and medium-bodied, it picks up cedary nuances on the finish.
