Jones of Washington 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- $15
Honeysuckle scents and ripe, fresh fruit flavors run from grapefruit on into tropical. This was fermented in Hungarian puncheons, picking up just a hint of toast along the way. Clean and quite delicious.

Jones of Washington 2010 Chardonnay (Wahluke Slope)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
Well-crafted, and built upon solid, ripe, estate-grown fruit. Juicy stone fruits are lightly wrapped in buttery oak, filling the mouth and holding firm and balanced through a lingering and very pleasant finish.

Jones of Washington 2009 Pinot Gris (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- $12
The alcohol is listed at just 12.3%, with residual sugar under 1%, but noticeable. The overall balance is excellent, with a fruit-forward appeal built upon clean, crisp layers of citrus and stone fruits. What surprises is the persistence; the score reflects both the breadth and length of this wine.

Jones of Washington 2010 Viognier (Wahluke Slope)
- $17
Good fruit from the expansive estate vineyards is the story here. The wine is solid, straight-ahead, with plenty of citrus and melon and peach-powered flavor. Big and round and tasty, with a lick of toast in the back of the throat.

Jones of Washington 2010 Pinot Gris (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- $12
Just a hint of sweetness (residual sugar is under 1%) cuts through the biting acidity, creating a fine-tuned sense of balance and adding depth and body to the overall structure. Grapefruit, pear and nectarine flavors showcase the intense fruit character.

Jones of Washington 2008 Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Estate-grown, tart and tasting of citrus and green apple fruits. Despite the high acidity and generous (13.2%) alcohol, there is an impression of some sweetness. A simple, pleasant wine that will show best with spicy Pan-Asian cooking.

Jones of Washington 2006 Merlot (Wahluke Slope)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Dusty-scented cherry fruit, hints of barn and earth, and a blend that includes 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose on this wine promises more than it delivers in the mouth, where it turns acidic and hard, with green tannins.

Jones of Washington 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Wahluke Slope)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
From estate-grown fruit, this adds Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah to the Cab. The net result is a diffuse wine with no varietal character. Tannins are hard and bitter, and the fruit seems to be hiding.
