Apex II 2003 Chardonnay (Yakima Valley)
- Best Buy
- $11
A ripe, round and deliciously fruity chardonnay, 50% barrel fermented, with a lip-smacking mix of tropical fruit and sweet crème brulée. Pineapples, peaches, melons and more.

Apex II 2003 Sauvignon Blanc (Yakima Valley)
- Best Buy
- $11
This new, value brand from winemaker Brian Carter hits the mark with this creamy, smooth, seamless rendition of sauvignon blanc. An oxidative “sur lie” technique keeps it citrus fresh but cuts the herbaceousness.

Apex II 2002 Merlot (Yakima Valley)
- $16
Fragrant and expressive, this soft, very approachable wine offers sweet blackberry fruit stylishly arrayed against a 50/50 blend of French and American oak. Smooth, silky and ripe, it is a can’t miss crowd pleaser.

Apex II 2007 Ascent Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
A Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah blend, this comes together gracefully, with pure sweet berry/cherry fruit flavor, ripe and silky tannins, and just a suggestion of leaf and green herb, but nothing sharp or bitter.

Apex II 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Yakima Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
Bright mix of pineapple, citrus, green berries, etc. with a yeasty, pleasing grassiness. A good follow up to the 2003, with precision and power.

Apex II 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Yakima Valley)
- $16
Yakima valley cab can often have a distinct herbal edge. This wine skates on that border, but never strays too far over it. Medium weight and relatively soft, it has light cranberry fruit and hints of mushroom and woodsy flavors.

Apex II 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $16
This is a straightforward style of cool-climate Washington Cabernet. The herbal character of the grape comes through cleanly, with tart red fruits, hints of mushroom and just a bit of dill. Earthy and astringent, it’s a wine that would sit solidly alongside a basic bottle of Bordeaux.
— P.G.

Apex II 2002 Syrah (Yakima Valley)
- $16
Nice enough right out of the bottle, with pretty scents of raspberry and blueberry. It’s clean and pleasant, but a bit insubstantial, without real definition or depth. Still, at this modest price, it’s a very nice bottle.
