Camaraderie Cellars 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Cellar Selection
- $25
This is the winery’s first pure Cabernet since 1996. Despite its youth, it’s already a very complete wine, balanced and expressive, with pure, vivid cassis and plummy fruit. Focused and compact, it’s classic Washington Cab.

Camaraderie Cellars 2003 Cabernet Franc (Washington)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A very fine cab Franc; smooth, polished and showing its varietal character. The coffee ground flavors, mixed with green tea tannins, give it a defining edge. It’s an earthiness that sets it apart from Cabernet Sauvignon. Inside you’ll find plenty of plush blueberry and plum fruit. Good winemaking.

Camaraderie Cellars 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Washington)
- Cellar Selection
- $22
This is a stylish effort, scented with cassis, blackberries, mint, licorice and coffee. Dark, tannic and delicious already, it is beginning to show complex layers of fruit flavor as it breathes. Definitely a wine to lay down for the next 8–10 years. Cellar Selection.

Camaraderie Cellars 1998 Grace Red (Washington)
- Cellar Selection
- $22
The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 15% Cab Franc, and it adds up to a sweetly fruity wine limned with chocolatey new oak. Balanced and structured like Bordeaux, it has substantial tannins and dominant oak, and seems likely to continue to develop well for another 6-8 years. Cellar Selection.

Camaraderie Cellars 2001 Grace Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $32
The winery’s Bordeaux blend (66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 12% Cab Franc), it’s full, seamless and complete, with rich, satiny fruit layered into chocolatey oak. This is almost Napa-like, but with raspberry/cherry fruit that has the acid structure of Washington grapes.

Camaraderie Cellars 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Washington)
- Best Buy
- $12
Good fruit, sourced from an excellent Red Mountain vineyard, starts things off right. The fresh nose is scented with hay, herb and sweet grass, and leads into a lovely wine with 25% barrel fermented semillon blended in for extra pizzazz. Best Buy.

Camaraderie Cellars 2001 Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $25
Substantial black cherry fruit is married to big, chewy tannins, with more obvious oak flavors than the other Camaraderie wines. Juicy and big, with some heat in the finish.

Camaraderie Cellars 2002 Sauvignon Blanc (Washington)
- Best Buy
- $10
From Red Mountain fruit, this includes 25% barrel-fermented Sémillon in the blend. It’s a good, melony wine, accented with some unusual fennel notes.
