Sapolil Cellars 2007 Patina Vineyard Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- $35
The Patina vineyard has some of the oldest Syrah plantings in the Walla Walla valley, and this designate is a fine effort. The dry-farmed grapes yield mixed flavors of raspberry, boysenberry and cherry, with hints of tobacco leaf. Licorice streaks through the finish, which lingers with excellent concentration.

Sapolil Cellars 2005 Pepper Bridge Vineyard Block 66 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- $48
Pure Cabernet Sauvignon from the Pepper Bridge vineyard; now with several extra years in bottle. It’s drinking well at five years of age, with strawberry and cherry fruit, bracing acidity and chalky, highly astringent tannins. The finish brings in leaf, pepper and coffee grounds.

Sapolil Cellars 2008 Patina Vineyard Syrah (Walla Walla Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Tight and sharp, this brings just barely ripe flavors of cranberry and sour raspberry. It just seems to have missed ripening by a hair, but the result strips the wine of the sort of complexity seen in 2007, leaving very tart, clean, monochromatic fruit flavors.

Sapolil Cellars 2003 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $33
On the crisp side, with bright berry flavors that pick up a touch of herbaceousness. Finishes tart and a little short.
