Rulo 2007 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $20
Superb fruit highlights this tight, sculpted Syrah. It’s extremely dense, with deep and intense raspberry and cassis fruit flavor, augmented with coffee grounds, smoke and iron filings. Complex, detailed, balanced and deep—what more can a wine give you? This is drinking very young and surely needs to be decanted. But already displaying amazing power.

Rulo 2005 Silo Red Wine (Wahluke Slope)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
Young, peppery, tight, supple and extremely concentrated, this 100% Syrah has all the varietal character you want; with tightly wound raspberry and currant-based red fruit flavors. In the mouth it extends into stone, more mixed fruits, butterscotch and a tight, earthy, bone- dry tannic finish. It’s a riot of subtle flavors.

Rulo 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain)
- $40
The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon was the only other stand-alone Cab made from Rulo. This is 100% Cabernet, and a pure expression of Red Mountain. That purity is a hallmark of Rulo; clean and expressive, with a tight focus. Dense, ripe, black fruits, black olive, earth and rock, with a kiss of spice. It’s a singularity expressed beautifully, dense and smoky and earthy…

Rulo 2009 Sundance Vineyard Chardonnay (Wahluke Slope)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
The freshest, saltiest, most intense of the Rulo whites, this bursts forth with seabreeze scents and rich minerality. The fruit is a synopsis of citrus, apple and fresh herb, and the balance is perfect.

Rulo 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Horse Heaven Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $40
This is 100% Cabernet, with the purity that is a recurring hallmark of Rulo’s wines. A deep, and deeply satisfying fruit expression, lifted with juicy acidity, brings a mélange of berries, cassis and black cherries into play. The grace notes pile on—smoke, black olive, tar, tobacco leaf, bitter chocolate. Young, bracing, and built to age.

Rulo 2006 Silo Reserve Syrah (Wahluke Slope)

This is all Clifton vineyard fruit and 100% varietal. It is superb; dense, laced with smoke, lightly peppery, tight, supple and extremely concentrated. The wine has all the varietal character you want; with tight raspberry and currant red fruits. Great acid supports more subtle flavors of stone, spice and toasty earth. Great middle, good length.

Rulo 2008 Sundance Vineyard Chardonnay (Wahluke Slope)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Fragrant and lush with floral/citrus aromas, this stainless-fermented Chardonnay is inviting and seductive. Brilliant, bright fruit anchors a wine that is tense and dense and vividly thrilling. The acids are natural and flavors seamlessly run from lemon/lime to pineapple to orange, and keep on keeping on, with fresh, water-washed rock in the finish.
