Walla Walla Vintners 2009 Vineyard Select Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- Editors' Choice
- $48
This is only the sixth vintage that the Vineyard Select has been produced. Spicy and tightly built, this dense effort is made from Cabernet Sauvignon that was sourced from three Walla Walla vineyards. Notes of fig, cassis, chocolate, coffee and fresh earth are enlivened by a hint of citrus rind. All in all, it’s a complex, well-appointed showcase of fabulous flavors.

Walla Walla Vintners 2007 Vineyard Select Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- Cellar Selection
- $48
The Vineyard Select is made only on occasion. As in 2006, the cuvée includes a splash of Petit Verdot. From the extraordinary 2007 vintage, this wine has it all: depth, polish and panache. The richly fruity nose brings on the berries and cherries; they fill the palate and add layers of fig, plum, chocolate and coconut.

Walla Walla Vintners 2005 Vineyard Select Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- Editors' Choice
- $48
The 10% Petit Verdot stiffens up the tannins and has a lovely violet-scented floral component that counterpoints the cassis and black cherry fruit. It’s a young, tight and beautifully crafted wine that has barely come out of the barrel; it’s still shut down and shy. But all the right stuff is there for a long-lived, elegant and silky wine with great breed and style.

Walla Walla Vintners 2005 Sagemoor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Cellar Selection
- $40
Sagemoor’s old Cab vines comprise 79% of the blend. The rest is a mix of Merlot, Cab Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, melded into a deep and satisfying whole. Beautifully mixed cassis, berry and cherry fruits are dotted with dried herb. There is plenty of caramel and toast in the lingering finish, and this wine combines hedonistic power with depth and character.

Walla Walla Vintners 2005 Malbec (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This is 100% Malbec, so inky it is black in color. The flavors echo the color, with amazing density. Black fruits, black olives, smoke and spice are structured around thick tannins. A minute-plus finish adds licorice and mint; even after being opened for a full 48 hours this wine remained fresh and balanced. It’s the first varietal Malbec ever from Walla Walla…

Walla Walla Vintners 2006 Vineyard Select Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
- Editors' Choice
- $48
Made only in 2001, 2003, and 2005, this is Walla Walla Vintners’ finest wine. The nose is deep enough to dive into, floral scents leading to cassis and blueberry, then toast and earth. Full in the mouth, with a compact, powerful richness, it continues with blueberries, tar, pepper and a bit of caramel.
