Corvidae 2007 The Keeper Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $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. — P.G. (11/1/2009)

Corvidae 2006 Lenore Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $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. — P.G. (11/1/2009)

Corvidae 2008 Mirth Chardonnay (Washington-Oregon)

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $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. — P.G. (12/22/2011)

Corvidae 2007 Fable Petite Sirah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $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. — P.G. (11/1/2009)

points

Corvidae 2007 Rook Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $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. — P.G. (11/1/2009)
