Camaraderie 2008 Reserve Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $38

This reserve spends 30 months in barrel. It has lovely aromatics, with subtle suggestions of tobacco and clove woven through the base of ripe black cherry and cassis. The tannins are polished, and the finish lends a thread of iron. — P.G. (7/1/2012)

Camaraderie 2009 Cabernet Franc

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $28

Dark and smoky, with superconcentrated black fruits, this also displays notes of black olive, char and earth. The bright, clean, pure fruit shines through the darker elements, giving the wine balance and a touch of elegance. — P.G. (7/1/2012)

Camaraderie 2004 Cabernet Franc

Online Exclusive

Price $23

This elegant Cabernet Franc is drinking beautifully, just beginning to round out the hardness of youth. The wine has a firm and confident backbone, which seems to wrap the acids and tannins tightly together. The framework supports the crisp, clean, immaculately ripe fruit, with flavors of plum, cherry and red licorice. Just 25% new oak was used, adding a light… — P.G. (8/1/2008)

Camaraderie 2008 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $38

The Camaraderie reserves—both this and the Merlot—have spent an extra year in barrel, and the benefit is that they have broadened out a bit. The vineyard sources are Champoux, Artz and Meek. This offers tart berry, and astringently-tannic flavors, with chalk, smoke and lead pencil streaks. Excellent balance and mass. — P.G. (7/1/2012)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $28

Deliciously full and fleshy, this lusty, muscular Merlot brings boatloads of dark cherry fruit and seams of rich cacao. Tannins are firm and slightly chalky, but the overall structure and length suggest a decade of life ahead. — P.G. (7/1/2012)

Camaraderie 2004 Grâce Red

Price $35

Sourced from what winemaker Don Corson calls “the best of the best”, this five-grape blend is modeled after Chateau St. Jean’s Cinq Cépages. It shows a carefully sculpted frame, with rich, dark, smoky tannins chiseled into a tight foundation for the dark currant and black cherry fruit. Notes of pepper and spice add interest to the finish, which carries a hint of… — P.G. (8/1/2008)

Camaraderie 2005 Crawford Vineyard Malbec (Yakima Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $25

A single-vineyard, single-varietal wine, the Crawford Vineyard Malbec showcases the pleasure and power of the grape as it is being grown in Washington. Structurally it has the grip and precision of a Cabernet, with a pretty, lightly herbal side that runs more to green tea than to Cabernet’s black olive. The fruit is tart and spicy, suggesting rhubarb, wild… — P.G. (8/1/2008)
