Dunham Cellars 2005 Lewis Vineyard Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $75
Eric Dunham’s Lewis vineyard Syrah belongs near the top of anyone’s list of the best in the country. The brilliant nose opens with bright, inviting raspberry, blueberry and boysenberry scents and flavors. The wine is forward, intense and nuanced. Immediately, brilliantly appealing, it has the power and balance to age for up to a decade.  — P.G.  (10/25/2008)

Dunham Cellars 2005 Lewis Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

  1. $75
No one does a better job showcasing fruit from the Lewis Vineyard than Eric Dunham. This pure and powerful Cabernet fairly explodes from the glass with ripe, round, plummy fruit. Silky tannins take over from there, with subtle layers of herb, olive and earth adding depth and texture.  — P.G.  (12/1/2008)

Dunham Cellars 2006 Lewis Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $75
Despite being given an extra year of bottle age, the 2006 Lewis Vineyard designate remains tight and unyielding upon first being opened. With alcohol under 14%, this pure varietal achieves classic styling. The tannins are firm and ripe, and threads of herb stitch together the tart fruit flavors of red currant and raspberry.

Dunham Cellars 2008 Lewis Estate Vineyard Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $22
You will find great concentration in this fruit, a beguiling play of citrus, grapefruit, peach, apricot and light tropical. It’s infused with a resinous streak that complements the fruit and lifts the midpalate. Sugars and acids are in perfect counterpoint—it’s close to dry but with such richness that it could take on spicy Asian fare.  — P.G.  (10/1/2010)

Dunham Cellars 2006 Lewis Vineyard Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

  1. $75
Like its companion Cabernet, the Lewis vineyard designate is still quite hard and unyielding when first opened. The dense, complex aromas suggest the power locked up within, and the wine slowly emerges, at first peppery and herbal, yet layered and complex; then showing some silk and satin, with a strong licorice streak.  — P.G.  (8/1/2010)

Dunham Cellars 2005 XI Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $45
The eleventh edition of Dunham’s signature Cabernet is a tight, polished wine, pure varietal and tasting of black raspberry, black cherry and cassis fruit. The tannins offer some leafy black tea flavors and just a hint of smoke and tar. It’s structured with the tight and compact acids that suggest cellaring the wine for up to a decade.  — P.G.  (12/1/2008)

Dunham Cellars 2007 Three Legged Red Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

  1. $17
Deliciously bright and spicy, its cranberry and raspberry fruit is highlighted with pepper and cinnamon. With more breathing time it fleshes out, fills in with pretty pie cherry flavors and some pleasing toastiness.  — P.G.  (8/1/2010)
