Cloudlift Cellars 2009 Ascent Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

This Bordeaux-style blend, one of four from this tiny winery, is almost three quarters Cabernet Franc. Raspberry and black currant fruit, tight and tart, anchors a focused young wine with nuances of dark chocolate and coffee grounds.

Cloudlift Cellars 2009 Panorama Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $25
More than half Merlot, with the rest a mix of the two Cabs, this is spicy, toasty and firm. It’s a good, all-purpose expression of Washington’s basic Bordeaux blend style, clean and ready to drink.

Cloudlift Cellars 2010 Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $17
Round and fruity, with puckery lemon-lime and tangerine fruit front and center. Some sort of oak treatment is in evidence, with a streak of vanilla wafer running through the finish.

Cloudlift Cellars 2010 Ascent Cabernet Franc (Horse Heaven Hills)
- $24
A food-friendly Franc with notes of herbs, flowers, cherries, and light oak accents. Its cranberry-like tartness is matched by firm tannins. Give this wine a spot at the dinner table to see it at its best.

Cloudlift Cellars 2010 Updraft White (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $17
A white Bordeaux-style blend, crisp and edgy, with green fruit flavors sporting a citrusy kick. Young, tight and tart, it shows its alcohol on the angular finish.

Cloudlift Cellars 2009 Halcyon Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $24
This Bordeaux-style blend, one of four from this tiny winery, is two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon. The somewhat thin cranberry and raspberry fruit, high in acid, is not quite substantial enough to completely shed its candied character.

Cloudlift Cellars 2009 Cloud 2 Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Medium-light, with clean and fresh berry fruit flavors, sharp and tart. It starts out with some quick punch, then fades away in a fast finish.

A pleasant Bordeaux-style blend, this has a light dusting of milk chocolate, along with ripe fruit flavors of berry.
