Barrage Cellars 2006 Elerding Vineyard Double Barrel Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $35
This dark, muscular, toasty Cabernet is infused with rich coffee/mocha flavors right up front. Cassis and black cherry provide the counterpoint, and the wine sits comfortably in the mouth, without excessive heat or weight, despite its 14.9% alcohol. The finish falls away quickly, but this is definitely a wine hankering for a thick steak.

Barrage Cellars 2007 SWB Viognier (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $18
This has retained some sweetness and is a pleasant, light take on Viognier. There are gentle notes of celery, melon and citrus, and a hint of toasted almond in the finish. A nice balance of acid and fruit keeps it on point through the finish.

Barrage Cellars 2006 Boushey Vineyard Secret Weapon Cabernet Franc (Yakima Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Spicy almost to a fault, this Cab Franc, sourced from the excellent Boushey vineyard, is structured along varietal lines, with sharp, earthy tannins, strong coffee flavors, spice and herbs in place of sweet berry flavors. The tannins are powerful but well-managed, with a smooth polish. Some heat in the finish.

Barrage Cellars 2007 Nuclear Blonde Conner Lee Vineyard Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $24
From a vineyard that has a long track record of success with Chardonnay, this new entry is a bit sharp and toasty, perhaps just a bit young to be at its peak. The fruit flavors are light and bring green apple and melon into play; the oak tastes new and not yet well-integrated, but with time this should balance out.
