Des Voigne 2005 Montreux Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $27

Here’s Washington Syrah in the flesh, unadulterated, unblended, blasting out aromas of wild berries, spicy cranberry and rhubarb. It leads into a tart and peppery wine with whiffs of smoke and herb; young, wild and just slightly raw. A flavor parade for your mouth. — P.G. (12/31/2007)

Des Voigne 2005 The Emcee Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $26

Soft and plush, this is a sweetly plummy, cherry pie-flavored Merlot that does for a meal what a pillow does for a bed. Lay down and enjoy the lush cherry fruit, the sandalwood scents and the spice. This is a drink-now wine that should win a lot of favorable consumer comments. — P.G. (12/31/2007)

Des Voigne 2005 San Remo Seven Hills Vineyard Sangiovese (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $25

Pure Sangio, has soft, seductive fruit and meat flavors. As it sits in the glass scents of tobacco and rose petals come into play, but in the mouth it’s all about butterscotch and strawberries. Nicely done. — P.G. (12/31/2007)

Des Voigne 2005 The Duke Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $26

Here’s an interesting blend: 71% Zinfandel, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest a split between Merlot and Cab Franc —all of it Walla Walla Valley fruit. It jumps out with a spicy hit of barrel, a little rough but quickly smothered in cherry-flavored fruit and chocolaty tannins. It’s got a little bit of wild herb as well, and it’s a crafty mix that never falls back… — P.G. (12/31/2007)

Des Voigne 2005 Solea Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $28

What we have here is really a Cabernet-based blend, or a Meritage-style blend if you wish. It shows good structure, a stiff spine, some barrelly chocolate and caramel flavors, and a slight burst of heat in the finish. — P.G. (12/31/2007)
