Rulo Winery 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $30

Pure, classic Cabernet. Young, tight, tannic and tart, yet it is already drinking well and built for aging. Great balance and structure. — P.G. (9/1/2004)

Rulo Winery 2004 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $19

Don’t let the nondescript label fool you; this is serious juice. Dark, sappy, spicy and dense, it comes on with flavors of baking chocolate and smoked meat, scented with violets and citrus, and finishes with bracing green tea tannins. A strong, muscular, substantial effort. — P.G. (8/1/2006)

points

Rulo Winery 2003 Vanessa Vineyard Chardonnay (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $20

From a two acre plot in Walla Walla, this lush, elegant wine shows Kurt Schlicker’s deft, complex approach to winemaking. 100% barrel fermented, it clocks in at 14% alcohol and tastes of clean fruit, with light hints of buttered toast and toasted nuts. Elegant and sophisticated, it shows a deft touch with the wood. — P.G. (12/15/2005)

Rulo Winery 2004 Combine Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Best Buy

Price $15

This is Sauvignon Blanc with a 14% blast of Viognier; the combination is vivid and bracing, like a dash through a cold mountain spring. All stainless, no malolactic. It’s cool as ice, clear and leesy, and the tart fruit is edged with citrus rind flavors, a nice mix of orange, lemon and lime. — P.G. (6/1/2006)

Rulo Winery 2001 Sundance Vineyard Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $23

An attractive wine that takes clean, precise fruit and carefully showcases it in a very pretty, balanced, concise, elegant style. This is not a blockbuster, but it is a beautifully structured wine which shows a masterful sense of craft. Hints of butter, lemon, citrus, floral, honey are all suggestively layered together. — P.G. (9/1/2003)

points

Rulo Winery 2003 Viognier (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $18

A full, intense wine, with concentrated scents of perfumed citrus. The flavors are big but balanced, and the wine captures the elegance and power of the grape with perfect symmetry. — P.G. (9/1/2004)

points

Rulo Winery 2002 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $18

A gem. Meaty, bacon fat nose, strikingly clear, purple-hued colors, and sweet, seductive fruit. What more can one ask of an $18 Syrah? This is elegant, strong and supple, with a long life ahead of it. — P.G. (9/1/2004)

points

Rulo Winery 2002 Silo Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $25

This is a single-vineyard Syrah, from a Wahluke Slope vineyard, and it has plenty of grapy, gamy, juicy fruit. Clean and light-footed, with bracing acid and sweet/tangy fruit, this is a high-wire wine made for a big, fat, meaty burger or steak. — P.G. (9/1/2004)
