Zero One Vintners 2008 Golden Delicious Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $16

Sourced from Gamache vineyard grapes, this is a fine follow-up to Zero One’s debut vintage. It’s packed with fruit flavors, running the gamut from Meyer lemon to candied papaya. The natural acidity keeps it all in balance and perfectly counterpoints the residual sugar, pegged at 2.1%. — P.G. (10/1/2010)

Zero One Vintners 2007 Golden Delicious Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $16

This is generous and juicy, with lush and very ripe flavors of apples and stone fruits, really loaded with fruit flavors and plenty of tangy acid. The midpalate hangs sensuously, loaded with sweet orange and Meyer lemon; this is the sort of rich, ripe, fruit-powered yet still racy Riesling that Washington makes better than anywhere in the world. — P.G. (6/1/2009)

Zero One Vintners 2006 Wild Sky Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Price $30

Sensuous aromas wrap black fruits, dusty spices, pepper, mocha and lead pencil; flavors follow. This is a chewy, dense and meaty wine, which places the substantial fruit in the driver’s seat. Tannins are beautifully proportioned and just this side of silky, and as the wine unwinds it shows complex details of smoke, tar and toasted grains. — P.G. (6/1/2009)

Zero One Vintners 2009 Golden Delicious Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $16

The third vintage of this Riesling is of a piece with the first two, which is to say loaded with juicy stone fruit flavors, some hints of papaya and tropical, citrus-infused acids, and a delicious freshness. Off-dry, with residual sugar at 1.5%, this is a versatile companion for a wide range of spicy noodle dishes. — P.G. (7/1/2011)

Zero One Vintners 2007 Wild Sky Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (OR))

Online Exclusive

Price $30

This wine has the magic mix of vanilla, tobacco and cherry that many consumers (and critics) love. It’s a seductive Cabernet from an excellent Walla Walla vineyard, with a little bit of Yakima Valley Merlot blended in. With more time it may flesh out and show better depth to the fruit, but it’s quite enjoyable as is. — P.G. (10/1/2010)

Zero One Vintners 2008 Wild Sky Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $30

With alcohol listed at 15.5%, it is reasonable to expect this Cab to fill the palate with rich, lush fruit. It falls a bit short, feeling tight and tannic. The tart berry fruit quickly runs into astringent, rather hard tannins, hinting at bitter seeds. Perhaps more time in the bottle will help to fill it out. — P.G. (7/1/2011)

Zero One Vintners 2008 Sauce Red (Washington)

Online Exclusive

Price $13

Soft, fruity and wide open, this is mostly Merlot, with dollops of Cabernet, Cab Franc and Syrah. There is a bloody flavor, raw meat perhaps, along with a vein of purple fruit. Tannins have been smoothed over almost to the point of vanishing. — P.G. (7/1/2011)
