Convergence Zone Cellars 2011 Drizzle Pinot Gris (Red Mountain)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
The first Washington wine to be released from the 2011 vintage hits the ground running, with ripe, round, rich flavors of honeyed pears and peaches. Succulent and fruity, it cuts its sharp acidity with 2% residual sugar, making for a wine with fine concentration and length.

Convergence Zone Cellars 2009 Riesling (Yakima Valley)
- Best Buy
- $15
Scented with notes of pine needle and lemon polish, this puts its concentration square in the mid-palate. There are pretty traces of honeyed botrytis, and a suggestion of sweetness, though the acidity keeps it on the dry side. Excellent length, with a pretty finish of honey and tea.

Convergence Zone Cellars 2010 Bacchus Vineyard Dewpoint Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $17
The clear glass bottle not only makes it impossible to read the embossed ‘label’—it is also dangerous to the wine, exposing it to light with no protection whatsoever. Fruity and off-dry, it brings scents of peaches, with a hint of something sweaty, and tastes like hard candy lemon, citrus and apricot.

Convergence Zone Cellars 2009 Storm Front Red (Red Mountain)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
A Bordeaux-style blend, tart and fruity, with an unusual fruit flavor mix that starts with citrus and orange and runs into bright berries. Two things keep the score down—a chalky edge to the tannins, and some noticeable volatility (a whiff of nail polish)on the nose.

Convergence Zone Cellars 2009 Sunbreak Chenin Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $17
This seems to be a little on the watery side; it does not have the floral highlights that Chenin can sometimes show, nor the fruit concentration that would elevate the score. It’s clean and quaffable, with very light citrus and apple fruit flavors.

Convergence Zone Cellars 2008 Storm Front Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $24
This Merlot/Cabernet blend is simple and one dimensional. Light suggestions of cherry and herb, with moderate tannins and balancing acids.
