Le Chateau 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $32
Bursting with sweet cherry fruit scents and flavors, this rich and sensuous Cab has the broad palate appeal of many Washington Merlots. Tannins are medium-grained; and the persistent finish is toasty with a trail of mocha.
— P.G.

Le Chateau 2010 Castle White Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $15
This Castle White is a fresh and well-made Sauvignon Blanc, with just a splash (2%) of Sémillon in the blend. Crisp and grassy, in a mouth-pleasing, true-to-varietal style.
— P.G.

Le Chateau 2010 Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $25
Apple and citrus fruit carries a light and refreshing hint of wintergreen. This is a solid, fruity, no-frills, chillable style of Chardonnay.

Le Chateau 2008 Sangiovese (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $18
This shakes off a slightly sweaty nose and opens into a soft, round, pleasantly fruity wine with strawberry, mint and spice. There is a hint of new wood, and a mild, almost floral finish.

Le Chateau 2008 Castle Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A blend of roughly equal parts Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this aggressively oaky red puts the fruit in a supporting role. Tannic, chewy, rough and tumble, it’s plenty big, but not a finesse wine.
— P.G.

Le Chateau 2008 Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $25
An interesting Chardonnay that does not quite all come together. Lemons, orange peel and other lively citrus aromas are mixed in with flavors of grain—cracker, oatmeal, and so on. The finish confuses rather than blends.
— P.G.

Le Chateau 2008 Barbera (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $27
A raw, rough, oaky flavor overwhelms the light and simple red fruit. Disjointed, with a bitter streak in the finish.
— P.G.
