K Vintners 2007 The Hustler Syrah (Walla Walla Valley)

Price $140

Only the second time The Hustler has been made, this spent 38 months in barrel. All the fruit is sourced from the Morrison Lane vineyard. Port-like and amazingly concentrated, it’s about as far as a dry wine can go and show fruit that is not buried in new oak. Here the fruit is a dark blend of berries and cassis; there is a dense layer of chocolate and earth… — P.G. (12/15/2011)

K Vintners 2008 The Creator Red (Washington)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $55

This edition of The Creator is a one-time only mix of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon from Stoneridge, 21% Cabernet from Cailloux, and 36% Syrah from Morrison Lane. It’s edgy and tight, with sharply defined corners—herbal, with a leafy/stemmy note, well-integrated into wild, brambly berry fruits. The 50% new oak is virtually invisible at this point; it fills out the… — P.G. (12/15/2011)

K Vintners 2008 Ovide En Cerise Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Walla Walla Valley)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $60

Sourced from another of the Cayuse vineyards, this is two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Syrah—a proven blend in Walla Walla. There is a potently aromatic herbal quality to the perfectly ripened fruit that marries black cherry and earthy tannins to the herbs. A big wine, with dried leaf character dominating the tannins. Good length, in an Italian style… — P.G. (12/15/2011)

K Vintners 2006 En Chamberlin Roma Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $60

The En Chamberlin vineyard, farmed biodynamically by Christophe Baron of Cayuse, is the source for this 62% Cabernet Sauvignon/38% Syrah blend. Concentrated and dense, beautifully structured with the herbal flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon set against tart wild berry and hints of citrusy acid. — P.G. (9/1/2009)

K Vintners 2005 The Beautiful Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $50

‘The Beautiful’ lives up to its name and reputation. The aromas shoot from the glass; young, herbal and strikingly peppery. This shows a complexity that is rare outside of France. The flavors run through the entire length of the palate, a fascinating mix of herb, leaf, earth, and tightly wound berry fruit. It’s young and crunchy, thought not fleshy, a wine that is… — P.G. (12/1/2007)

K Vintners 2008 Northridge Vineyard Syrah (Wahluke Slope)

Editors' Choice

Price $35

This may be the quintessential site among the extensive Milbrandt vineyards that produce much of the K Vintners Syrah lineup. The Northridge bottling has amazing purity and concentration, with a beguiling mix of deep berry fruits and gravelly minerality. Supple power, muscular and dense. — P.G. (12/15/2011)

K Vintners 2008 Roma En Chamberlin Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah (Walla Walla Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $60

A similar blend to the Ovide; this is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Syrah. The fruit is more forward here, with pretty blackberry and black cherry flavors, and a dark and forceful streak of iron and charcoal and licorice. A light lavender note adds interest. — P.G. (12/15/2011)

K Vintners 2008 Phil Lane Syrah (Walla Walla Valley)

Cellar Selection

Price $70

A deep and compact wine with Syrah fruit styled with a Cabernet-like verticality, this layers ripe berry fruit with streaks of graphite, ash and rock. The flavors persist through a lingering, super clean finish with the balance and acidity to age. What are initially tightly wound subtleties of herb and spice may well expand into nuanced complexity over the next… — P.G. (12/15/2011)
