The Walla Walla Syrah from Trust Cellars is enhanced with 11% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Lewis vineyard, and coopered in 22% new French oak. There is lovely fruit here, with sweet grape, cherry and plum, followed by streaks of chocolate and caramel.

Trust Cellars 2005 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $28
Though quite dark, spicy, smoky, fragrant and seductive, this is a very flavorful wine. Citrusy acids underscore flavors of grapefruit and orange, but the core of the wine is straightforward, pure and ripe berry. It’s nice not to fight the fruit with oak; the aromatics are beautiful.

Trust Cellars 2007 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $28
This nicely crafted Syrah is sourced from the Lewis, Porteuss, and Sundance vineyards. The barrel regimen was 25% new and 100% French, with minimal racking, unfined and unfiltered. Flavors are compact, a classic mix of wild berry, loam, seaweed and bitter herb. Not for fruit hounds, but detailed and deep.

Trust Cellars 2006 Ice Wine Sémillon (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Just 40 cases of half bottles were produced. Tasting more like a late harvest than a true ice wine, this soft, lush and creamy wine bring lots of mashed banana flavors, very smooth and rich, with butter, caramel and butterscotch. The flavors compound and surround the palate in a luscious blanket of sweets.

Trust Cellars 2006 Rosé Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Inspired by Chinook and Amavi, who also make excellent rosés from Cab Franc, this is quite delicious, round and ripe with mixed cherry and apple fruit flavors. It’s on the soft side, very accessible, with beautiful fruit and some delicate spice notes of cinnamon, sandalwood, hints of cotton candy.

Trust Cellars 2006 Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))
- $18
The soft, smooth entry coats the tongue with ripe flavors of peach and apricot. There are lovely highlights of mandarin orange and mixed citrus rind, and for a Riesling it is round and full, with the acid knocked back a bit. A lovely debut from this new Walla Walla winery.
