Sort By:

Tildio Winery 2005 Profundo Red Wine (Wahluke Slope)

Price $35

A full-boat, five-varietal Bordeaux blend. It’s nicely balanced, and retains some inviting aromas of violets and candied rose petals, leading into a lip-smacking, fruit-driven mid-palate with blueberries, boysenberries and a whisper of saffron and chocolate. There is plenty of acid underpinning, and a judicious use of barrels that keeps the fruit front and center… — P.G. (8/1/2008)

Tildio Winery 2005 Cabernet Franc (Wahluke Slope)

Online Exclusive

Price $35

This is surprisingly soft and delicate, with sweet spices adding cinnamon and allspice to the tart, plum and cherry fruit. It seeps into the palate seductively, lengthening into a tangy and lively finish. The mix of fruit, acid and spice is delicious. — P.G. (8/1/2008)

Tildio Winery 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $30

This is nicely sculpted, and keeps just the right accents of green tea and leaf to show the varietal character. The aromas includes cedar and mocha and toast, but the barrel influence does not overwhelm the pleasingly tart berry-infused fruit. — P.G. (8/1/2008)

Tildio Winery 2007 Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $15

It’s a pleasure to find a sipping wine that gracefully displays a mix of honeysuckle blossoms, light apple, pear and peach, and a gentle wrap of firming acids. Elegant right through the finish. — P.G. (5/1/2009)

Tildio Winery 2006 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $27

The tart, mountain-berry fruit flavors, the sharp citrusy acids and the fresh green herbs all stand out, and the wine has a palate presence that is lively and inviting. In the finish the green flavors congregate, and the tannins seem just a shade underripe. — P.G. (5/1/2009)

Tildio Winery 2005 SBW Red Wine (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $22

This pleasant Merlot/Cabernet blend brings ripe cherry fruit flavors that border on raisiny. It’s forward, round, soft and fruity, with the Merlot definitely dominating the front, while the Cabernet adds a bit of weight and substance to the finish. — P.G. (8/1/2008)

Tildio Winery 2006 El Buho Red Wine (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $25

This is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 20% Syrah—a classic Washington blend. Here it gives some lift to the nose, and adds the tart and tangy berry flavors of Syrah to the broad flavors of cherry and herb coming from the Bordeaux grapes. The oak influence is clearly felt in the toast and mocha-infused finish, but there is a flat ending that sort of spoils… — P.G. (5/1/2009)

Tildio Winery 2006 Malbec (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $28

From Stillwater Creek vineyard, this 80/20 blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon simply tastes young. The fruit is ripe enough, but superficial, with a lot of barrel flavors providing the weight and filling in with smoke, toast and coffee. Malbec has a very promising future in Washington State, and it’s good to see young and talented wineries such as Tildio doing… — P.G. (5/1/2009)
