Des Voigne Cellars 2006 Solea Red Wine (Red Mountain)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A fine effort; it takes some of the Mountain’s best fruit and showcases it to put the flavors of berry, cassis and mineral in perfect proportion. This is a forward and fruity wine that surprises you with what it brings in the back—notes of straw, cracker and sweet toasted coconut. It’s nota monster, but it sure is delicious.

Interesting to see that Washington State vineyards can ripen Sangio in a wide range of microclimates; this is true to the variety with tart acids, sharp flavors of berry, hints of pumpkin pie spice and tobacco, and just enough butterscotch barrel notes to fill in around the rough edges. This is good winemaking, with a tough grape.

- $30
This is a substantial, dense Syrah, which runs quickly from berries and cherries right into barrel flavors of chocolate and butterscotch. It’s balanced and delicious, but does not have the complexity and more interesting earth/herb notes that the grape is capable of.
