Sweet Valley 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley)
- $35
There is some volatility in the nose, along with strong scents of the new French oak. But the flavors are substantial and bring tart fruit with black olive, toast and coffee highlights. The acidity seems chalky, but it’s a noticeable improvement from previous vintages.

Sweet Valley 2008 Merlot (Walla Walla Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Light fruit flavors of watermelon and strawberry, along with some thin black cherry and cola flavors are what you’ll find here. This is pleasant and drinkable, but not a wine to cellar or match with any really spicy foods. A good quaffer.

Sweet Valley 2007 Merlot (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Some wines can hit 15.4% alcohol, as this does, and make it work. But here the burn and scorch from the alcohol simply overwhelms some excellent fruit. Detail is lost, and what’s left is a hot, jammy red.
