Boomtown 2007 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $15
A tiny bit of Mourvèdre and Barbera are added into the blend, but this is honest and true to varietal Washington Syrah, with strawberry and cherry candy fruit flavor in abundance. Initially forward and light on the palate, it moves into more herbal, earthy flavors in the finish.

Boomtown 2009 Merlot
- $15
The nose is lifted and the flavors a bit austere, but the mix of red fruits and soft tannins is nicely balanced. There are hints of chocolate throughout the finish.

Boomtown 2010 Syrah
- Online Exclusive
- $15
The Boomtown Syrah offers plenty of clear, varietally correct fruit flavor. Citrus highlights underscore deep boysenberry fruit. The wine is forward and just right for drinking while young.

Boomtown 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Taut and tight, the fruit displays rather sharp flavors of berry and plum. There are small amounts of Cab Franc, Malbec and Merlot in the blend. It’s nicely styled, a great by-the-glass pour, with a firm, muscular structure and plenty of supporting acid. The fruit is crisp and natural, and the oak adjuncts are handled judiciously, adding some pleasing tobacco flavors.

Boomtown 2010 Chardonnay
- $13
Very much in the mode of the Boomtown Pinot Gris, this is clean, crisp and refreshing, with light, melony fruit and a strong mineral streak. It’s bracing and textural, rather light and fun for sipping, though not especially varietal.

Boomtown 2008 Merlot
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Light, rather thin Merlot fruit is coated with lush flavors of licorice and vanilla. The oak treatment may seem over the top to some, just right to others. There’s plenty of acid to wash the palate clean.

Boomtown 2010 Merlot

- $15
This is firm and reasonably substantial, with strong streaks of vanilla and licorice. The oak treatment masks the rather light red-fruit flavor, and may seem overdone to some tasters.

Boomtown 2008 Syrah
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Vanilla, tobacco and anise flavors quickly overwhelm the fruit; perhaps the wine just needs to breathe longer. At first taste, it quickly turns tannic and very drying; the fruit is buried and the oak flavors are still a bit jarring and disjointed.
