Edmonds Winery 2005 Slide Ridge Red Wine (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $26

This is Horse Heaven Hills Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a splash of Wahluke Slope Petit Verdot. As with the other Edmonds releases, it has an elegance rarely found in the wines from new operations. Edmonds seems to value fruit and precision over barrel flavors and alcohol, a welcome trend. The bonus here is the array of lightly applied spices that filter… — P.G. (11/1/2008)

Edmonds Winery 2007 Solstice Red (Horse Heaven Hills)

Online Exclusive

Price $40

The fruit scents explode from the glass, showing raspberries, blueberries, cherries and plums in profusion. There is more stuffing, especially apparent in the nose and also in the mouth, than in the winery’s varietal blends. The back end of the wine suggests bread and chocolate, light hints of toasted almond and cinnamon spice. — P.G. (6/1/2009)

Edmonds Winery 2005 Syrah (Horse Heaven Hills)

Online Exclusive

Price $23

This is a treat, quite spicy, with lively acid and vibrant fruit flavors that seamlessly run from red berries to cherries to black berries. It’s loaded with sweet baking spices, nice barrel notes of toasted coconut and mocha, and a firm through line that carries right into the silky tannins. — P.G. (11/1/2008)

points

Edmonds Winery 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Horse Heaven Hills)

Price $28

Cranberry and rhubarb flavors define the fruit, although some hints of blackberry and cassis manage to steal into the finish. This is a light, elegant, high acid wine with polished tannins and a lovely transparency. The fruit flavors, though deceptively light, are penetrating and the finish just glides on and on, like that last bite of blueberry pie. — P.G. (12/1/2008)

Edmonds Winery 2006 Slide Ridge Red Wine (Horse Heaven Hills)

Price $26

Windy Ridge vineyard fruit goes into this blended red—53% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. It’s promising right from the get-go, aromatic and lush, mixing ripe red fruits—berries and pomegranate—chocolaty oak, nougat and toasted almond. The alcohol is 13.5%, and the wine, modestly proportioned, is smooth and supple and lingers gracefully in the mouth. — P.G. (6/1/2009)

Edmonds Winery 2006 Bentley Red Wine (Horse Heaven Hills)

Online Exclusive

Price $23

The blend is three quarters Merlot, 16% Malbec and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tastes like young vines, with good acid, tart cranberry/raspberry fruit, some toasty flavors from the new oak. — P.G. (6/1/2009)

points

Edmonds Winery 2006 Syrah (Horse Heaven Hills)

Online Exclusive

Price $23

This has 5% Viognier blended in as an experiment; the winemaker says he probably won’t do it again. Spicy and citrusy, young and light, this elegant style of Syrah tastes like wild raspberries and barely hints at pepper, citrus rind and grapefruit. There is some detectable volatility in the finish. — P.G. (6/1/2009)

points

Edmonds Winery 2007 Robt D Red Wine (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $23

Scents of seaweed, espresso, smoke and chocolate-covered raisins are followed by comparable flavors. This has a sharp, volatile edge that translates as vinegary in the finish. — P.G. (3/1/2010)
