Tamarack Cellars 2007 DuBrul Vineyard Reserve Red (Rattlesnake Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- $45
This single-vineyard blend’s flavors run through all the berries right into dense cassis. It gathers more strength as it rolls through the midpalate, layering in earth and black cherries, with char and toast more noticeable than in the other Tamarack reds.

Tamarack Cellars 2006 DuBrul Vineyard Reserve Red Wine (Rattlesnake Hills)
- $45
This new vintage offers the same blend as the 2005—62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. The flavors, though tight and reserved, are substantial and lightly earthy, and the tannins sculpted and refined.

Tamarack Cellars 2007 Sagemoor Vineyards Reserve Red (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive

This very limited reserve mixes old-vine fruit from the Bacchus and Weinbau vineyards (all under the Sagemoor umbrella). Berries, cherries and cassis draw you into a dusty, detailed wine with nuances of herb and earth. A lick of rich dark chocolate ends it with a flourish.

Tamarack Cellars 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Cellar Selection
- $32
Dark and smoky, earthy and compact, this textbook Cabernet Sauvignon shows muscle and steel at its core. Though tannic and still encased in a bit of a hard shell, it already displays beautifully defined varietal character, and it doesn’t shy away from the herbal side of the grape.

Tamarack Cellars 2006 Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $28
It’s 100% Cabernet Franc, a delightful, bright and forward wine with sweet boysenberry and blueberry fruit. Behind the bright, luscious fruit flavors are chewy, earthy tannins.

Tamarack Cellars 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Sourced from a smorgasbord of AVAs, this well-crafted Cabernet includes small percentages of Merlot and Cab Franc. Hard, tight and firmly grounded in cassis and black fruits, it melds in streaks of mineral, graphite and a hint of herb.
