Davenport Cellars 2007 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $20

Sourced about equally from Kiona (on Red Mountain) and Rosebud (in the Wahluke Slope), this deep, dark, well-made Syrah offers exception value. The fruit is plenty ripe, a mix of berries, raisins and plums; there is a generous chocolate note, firm tannins, and the grapes’ earthy, lightly funky side displayed as well. It’s all beautifully balanced. — P.G. (12/1/2010)

Davenport Cellars 2007 Continuity Red Wine (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $24

Smooth, seductive, toasty and rich on the nose, this blend of all five Bordeaux varieties is not a big wine, but drinking extremely well at the moment, with a precise balance of fruit, earth and barrel that sets up seductively in the mouth, and stays there. Excellent length and fullness. — P.G. (12/1/2010)

Davenport Cellars 2009 Barrel Fermented Sémillon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $19

Thick, ripe, creamy and luscious, this 15.4% Sémillon carries itself with grace and style.

Davenport Cellars 2009 Snowflake White Wine (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $16

Three quarters Sauvignon Blanc and the rest Sémillon, this attractive white wine has an appealing snap to the fruit and an underlying acidity that sets it up in lively fashion. It’s a food wine through and through, lightly toasty, with green berries and apples providing the clean fruit flavors. A fine value. — P.G. (12/1/2010)

Davenport Cellars 2007 R.H.D. Red Wine (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $24

This is three fifths Merlot, with the other four Bordeaux grapes filling out the rest. 100% French oak was used, half new, and the near-15% alcohol shows in a bit of burn in the finish. Toasty, smoky, laden with roasted coffee and bitter chocolate notes, this is a wine to pair with a grilled steak. — P.G. (12/1/2010)
