Corvidae 2007 The Keeper Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $17
This offers real richness for the price. With dark, sappy fruits, it’s a thick, smoky Cabernet Franc. Yes, there are some slightly bitter tannins, but they’ve been smoothed over, and give the finish just the right edge to tackle a sizzling steak.

Corvidae 2006 Lenore Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Named for the character in Edgar Allen Poe poem “The Raven,” this opens with a burst of boysenberry, then follows with sweet, toasty coffee and bitter chocolate. There’s plenty of acid, and for the price, a wine with substantial body and depth.

Corvidae 2008 Mirth Chardonnay (Washington/Oregon)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
This brings a boatload of flavor for the price. It’s packed with fruit; citrus, pineapple, apple, and peach, round and succulent, with just the right amount of sharp acidity to give it some verve.

Corvidae 2007 Fable Petite Sirah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Fermented in neutral wood, this simple, straightforward wine is enjoyably grapey and plummy, the tannins are ripe, and though it is not particularly complex it is a perfectly enjoyable pizza wine.

Corvidae 2007 Rook Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $13
The Rook (named for Irish species of crow) is fruit-forward, round and sweet. You won’t find overbearing flavors of vanilla, tobacco and toast as in many inexpensive red wines, just moderately ripe red fruits done in a balanced and accessible style.
