Nicholas Cole 2005 Estate Reserve Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $75

Here is the quintessential Nicholas Cole—the first wine from the estate vineyard, with a blend that is, for the first time, Cabernet-based. It’s dark, chewy, dense, tense and deeply compact, with layers of blackberry compote, and lingering flavors that meld smoke, fruit and acid in perfect proportion.

Nicholas Cole 2006 Dauphiné Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $50

Juicy and tart, with a background of grapefruit and pineapple behind tangy, clean berry fruit. It’s concentrated and shows a nice streak of graphite and stone, smoke and chalk. This wine needs plenty of bottle time and breathing time. — P.G. (8/1/2009)

Nicholas Cole 2005 Camille Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $50

The Camille is a Merlot-centric Bordeaux blend, dense, liquorous, smoky, and loaded with chocolaty goodness—a truffle in a bottle. Flavors recall the most exotic bottlings from Spain—dense and liquorous, with concentrated raspberry, black cherry fruit, lots of chocolate, smoke and spice. — P.G. (8/1/2009)

Nicholas Cole 2006 Juliet Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $40

This is half estate-grown Sangiovese but done in a Super Tuscan style with half the wine comprised of Cabernet and other Bordeaux reds. Soft, smooth, silky and lush, it’s loaded with black fruits and new oak accents of toasted nuts, butter, caramel and chocolate. It’s seductive and warm, forward and immediately appealing, yet built to age. — P.G. (8/1/2009)
