Mackey Vineyards 2009 Concordia Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $38
Dense, deep, dark, and loaded with black fruits, this keeps adding layers––black coffee, smoke, earth, some rock, some charcoal. It is vivid but not overbearing; the alcohol (14.9%) does not show in the mouth. Supple and still showing some streaks of herb and bark. Delicious.

Mackey Vineyards 2008 Syrah (Walla Walla Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Winemaker Billo Naravane (Rasa) has a handle on Syrah. This brings unusual sweet/tart candy fruit flavors wrapped into a juicy, tart, tightly wound wine that flows gracefully across the palate. Though aged for 18 months in 40% new French oak, the barrel flavors are well in the background. It’s a clean, sappy wine, with a soft, gentle fade.

Mackey Vineyards 2010 Off Dry Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- $15
Off dry it is, with flavors of Meyer lemon and black tea and plenty of acid. It is a fine value for the price, with density, concentration, purity of fruit and grip. Fruit runs through citrus into light tropical; the sugar falls out in the very finish but is balanced nicely against the acids.

Mackey Vineyards 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $32
An interesting blend from the estate vineyard and sites outside the Walla Walla Valley. The first impression brings a strong, penetrating green bean streak of flavor, but it smoothes into a more promising midpalate. Firm and compact, it shows cassis and a sprinkling of brown sugar. It doesn’t yet all knit together, but it is flavorful and complicated.
