SuLei Cellars 2007 Beet Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $19
A nicely crafted debut from a new Walla Walla boutique. The blend—two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, one third Syrah—is becoming a classic in Walla Walla. This wraps delicious caramel around bright berries and plums. It’s nicely focused, smooth and compact, but feels like a wine that will flesh out with a bit more bottle age.

SuLei Cellars 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $18
Fermented in stainless steel, then aged in a mix of neutral oak and stainless steel barrels, this single-vineyard, 100% varietal Sauvignon Blanc is racy and bone dry, a true Loire Valley style. Classic varietal flavors of gooseberry, lemon/lime and slate, with a bit of spritz to liven it up.

This rare Walla Walla Roussanne comes on crisply with a mix of melon, pineapple and lime. It’s tart and fresh and lightly minty, with persistent and clean fruit flavors.

SuLei Cellars 2009 Roller Girl Jammer Red (Walla Walla Valley)
- $19
Fruity and polished, this broadly appealing red blend is two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cab Franc and the rest Merlot, from a quartet of Walla Walla Valley vineyards. Smooth and mellow, it’s already aging gracefully, with light barrel flavors of toast and caramel.

SuLei Cellars 2009 Dry Rosé (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $16
A pale salmon color, this simple, fresh-tasting rosé is mostly Merlot, with about 15% Cabernet Franc. Light watermelon and strawberry fruit carries some alcoholic power (14.1%) into the finish.

SuLei Cellars 2009 Roussanne (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- $18
Celery and raw wood in the nose, then some light, green fruits come into play in the mouth. As it breathes open there are floral overtones and a hint of honey—a glimmer of varietal character.

SuLei Cellars 2008 Roller Girl Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Strongly herbal, with scents and flavors of leaf, root and stem. The flavors are more toward grass and herb than berry or fruit. It’s got a peppery finish, pleasant but could be a little riper.
— P.G.
