2009 Wine Spectator - 91 points - Velvety, with a nice lift to the dense, tarry flavors of black currant and smoke, finishing on a toasty note. Offers taut structure and ripeness, without excess weight. Drink now through 2017. - ... |

Round and forward, this Cabernet has dark fruit flavors and good structure. Yummy hints of caramel and espresso with a long toast finish. As usual with Abeja cabs, this is a solid wine.

Blue based red with a purple halo. Spicy nose with clove cinnamon yet a strong base of minerality unusual with such plump fruit notes. Age worthy tannins of lush fruit hold up blackberries, blue fruit, and plums. Medium acidity yet balanced with... |

A blend of three Washington State reds: Primitivo, Petite Sirah, and Zinfandel. Full bodied & velvety, flavors of black cherry are tinged with espresso, smoke, and earth. A big, smooth red wine to drink on its own as well as with food. Try with eg... |

Cassis and sweet black cherry, stuffed full of richness, Arctos is one of the best Cab blends I've tasted in years. Cola spice, herb-inflected tannins, savory deliciousness. While more attention has been lavished on Ursa, Arctos is every bit as s... |

The 2008 Baer Ursa was #6 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wine of 2011. The 2009 Ursa follows suit with gusto, billowing gorgeous, heady aromas. Like the 08, the palate is super plush and densely packed with black cherries, blue and blackberries, swe... |

Ripe plum, dark cherries and perfectly integrated oak spice. Lush, rich and even denser than last year’s version. Concentrated and quite thick in the mouth with substantial ripe fine grained tannin. Exquisitely balanced and giving with plenty of t... |

We tasted the Bergevin Lane Syrah Oui Deux 06 today, October 2011. In 2008 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate said it would evolve for 4-6 years - and it's delectably ready now.
A black color, black currant, blueberry, espresso, smoke, comes ac... |

Flavors include blackberry, black cherry and liquid smoke with ample amounts of blueberries and spice. The aromas include crushed herb, iron and black olive. This Syrah shows refinement and elegance.

One of Washington's best Syrahs for several years running, the 2009 La Cote Rousse is explosive. Peppered, smoked bacon melds with rich black and blue berries, accented by Asian spices. This is dense and brooding - I recommend cellaring for at... |

First, a hit of sweet, perfumed black cherry Syrah. Next, the big, dark, meaty notes of Malbec - leather, earth, tar, dried black currant. Cabernet Sauvignon adds earth, truffle, dark chocolate, and polish. From Buty's own Phinny Hill Vineyard. ... |

Review: The Buty Merlot/Cab Franc is a master-blend that quickly sheds its veil of oak and shows pure bushels of red berries, blueberry compote and Cab Franc-fragrant-spiciness. The full, layered finish is dynamic and fresh. - Mar... |
