Snoqualmie 2002 Reserve Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $23

The ’02 ups it another notch from the juicy, spicy 2001. Here again is are beguiling aromas of plum, cherry, dust and cocoa; a chewy, ripe fruit core, and a dense finish that runs from citrus to coffee, with everything in between. — P.G. (6/1/2005)

Snoqualmie 2006 Winemaker’s Select Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Best Buy

Price $8

With full ripeness, density and concentration, this keeps its superb balance at just 10.8% alcohol and 5% residual sugar. The dynamic tension plays out beautifully, and doesn’t veer into any sort of sugary slackness. This has the sort of weight and complexity you would expect in a $30 wine. — P.G. (12/1/2007)

points

Snoqualmie 2001 Reserve Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $23

Young and ripe, this has the juicy, spicy red fruits that distinguish Washington Syrah, outlined with tart acids and set against a splashy background of new French and American oak. — P.G. (5/1/2004)

points

Snoqualmie 2003 Reserve Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $23

Pure and classy, this is a bowl of cherries and raspberries in a wine glass. It’s a bright, tart, vivid and delightful wine built solidly upon a round, sweet core of pretty fruit. Great balance and pleasing texture, with a nice citrus kiss on the finish. — P.G. (5/1/2007)

points

Snoqualmie 2008 Naked Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Best Buy

Price $12

A succulent, off-dry Riesling from organically grown grapes, Snoqualmie’s Naked bottling opens with floral top notes, fills out the palate with crisp apple and peach fruit, then turns almost tropical, with a lingering finish loaded with honey and papaya. — P.G. (3/1/2010)

points

Snoqualmie 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $23

A compact wine, crisply defined with red currant and cherry fruits, and a grainy, roasted coffee finish. Tight, stylish and ageworthy. — P.G. (5/1/2004)

points

Snoqualmie 2001 Reserve Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $23

Smooth and chocolaty, with lots of supple fruit and layers of sweet oak. This is a wine to gulp down by the glass, with foods such as pizza and burgers. There’s plenty of creamy vanilla to soften the finish. — P.G. (5/1/2004)

points

Snoqualmie 2004 Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Best Buy

Price $11

Sweet cherry and raspberry fruit with an herbal edge kicks off this rather tannic young wine. It shows exceptional depth and detail for a wine in this price range—baking chocolate, spicy clove, herb and smoke. Complex, acidic and well balanced, it is a very fine example of winemaker Joy Anderson’s deft, light touch. — P.G. (5/1/2007)
