A beautifully bright wine that delivers loads of delicious citrus and young melon. Aromas of soft grapefruit and kiwi swirl in the glass, and flavors of crisp green apple and lemon zest make this a perfect wine for seafood and salads.
- 14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 Product #25671 (In Stock)
-
-
A perennial "Best Seller" in restaurants, and a very fine value in Washington Cabernet. 14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon features aromas of red currants and raspberries with subtle hints of spice. Spiced cherry & plum flavors are joined by notes of cocoa and complemented by fine velvety tannins. A little Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Petit Verdot help drive the fruit forward and keep things soft and lush.

-
-
One of the top 20 wine-by-the-glass offerings in US restaurants, 14 Hands Merlot is also a big favorite in the store! This soft, almost juicy, Merlot is packed with cherry and red berry fruit and just a dash of wood spice and classic Merlot herbs. The wine is round and well-focused, and a perfect match with just about any weeknight meal.
- Efeste Sauvignon Blanc Sauvage 2011 Product #26805 (In Stock)
-
-
The round texture plus brilliant, crisp, acids and minerality make this a terrific all year ‘round Sauvignon Blanc!
"Bright yellow-green. Aromas of ripe apple, gooseberry and underripe pineapple; in a Sancerre style. Conveys a broader, softer, less minerally impression than the Feral bottling, but still has excellent energy for such a round style. If the Feral is summer sauvignon, this is for winter drinking."International Wine Cellar 91 points
- Hedges Cms Red 2010 Product #26172 (In Stock)

We have fallen in love with the classic, honest wines from Hedges Family Estate! This family-owned Washington state winery has its roots in Old-World winemaking, eschews scores, and is all about showcasing the potential of the terroir in Washington. Devoid of flash, pretention, or inflated prices, this winery represents the kind of honest winemaking and independent spirit that we love to support. It doesn't hurt that the wine's delicious!
CMS is a blend of Cabernet and Merlot with a dash of Syrah. You'll find plenty of dark fruit, earth, and baking spices on the nose. On the palate the fruit flavors are lush and satisfying, but the structure and juicy acidity keeps it all in balance. Fabulous for a grilled steak or a big, juicy burger!
- Independent Producers (Hedges) Merlot 2010 Product #26173 (In Stock)
-
-
Finally, a domestic Merlot that tastes like Merlot! Independent Producers is a project directed by Christophe Hedges to showcase Columbia Valley's more interesting sites. This classically styled wine opens with aromas of raspberries, cherries, and a hint of herbaceousness. On the palate, the tart, buyant fruit mingles with a bit of tobacco and smokiness. The structure and acidity makes this an incredibly flexible wine with a variety of foods.
- Guild Red Wine Lot 6 2009 Product #27011 (In Stock)

It’s not clear how 4 Oregon winemakers could get a hold of Syrah, Mourvedre and Counoise from Washington state and then make a dead ringer for Ann Gros’s Minervois, but that’s why wine is so fun! This is delicious, limited, and well priced. Move, already.
This Rhone-style blend opens with tangy fruit and violet aromas. On the palate, it's got delicious, crunchy fruit that makes you look for something to eat, like maybe some delicious charcuterie. Enough fruit for that 'yum,' factor, and enough structure to stand up to real food. - Efeste Riesling Evergreen Vineyard 2011 Product #26312 (In Stock)
-
-
Another great vintage for what is fast gaining recognition as one of America's best dry Rieslings. This is crisp and minerally with fine depth and a firm, vibrant, finish.
"Light and silky, with a jolt of acidity to balance the delicate sweetness, allowing the peach, pear and floral flavors come through unhindered. Drink now through 2015."Wine Spectator 90 points
- Baer Chardonnay "Shard" Washington 2011 Product #26604 (In Stock)
-
-
No oak here, but tons and tons of flavor. Just 390 cases made of this wine that starts with pristine fruit fermented in stainless steel and then made creamier by regular lees stirring. Aromas and flavors of heirloom apples and orchard fruits shine here with an intriguing savory note weaving in and out as well. Clean, crisp, and a little creamy with a hint of salty caramel on the long, juicy, finish. Fine stuff.
- Thurston Wolfe Cabernet Sauvignon "The Teacher" 2010 Product #26311 (In Stock)
-
-
The undisputed “Ugliest Label In the Store” award winner is actually a terrific bottle of Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. As Wine Advocate said, “Thurston Wolfe is an artisanal producer of wines with personality. The production of these wines ranges from 48 cases to 588 cases so interested parties are advised to get on the mailing list.”
The 2010 is 100% Cabernet from three vineyard’s in the famous Horse Heaven Hills region, The Teacher gets 21 months in French, American and Hungarian oak to smooth out any rough edges. The aromas are big and complex: grilled bread, pencil lead, Asianspice, violets, and loads of dark black fruit. Then, a big mouthful of ripe black fruits and oak spice in a full bodied, rich, package. Nicely ripe and firm tannin give support and make this a great choice for anything roasted or grilled.
- Baer Winery Star Blend 2009 Product #26355 (In Stock)
-
-
A Merlot of unusual interest and class from one of Washington State's best up-and-comers. Just 273 cases made of this rich blend of nearly 80% Merlot with dashes of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon. It's dark and elegant with generous aromas of black fruits, olive, herb and licorice. Mouthfilling and creamy, with deep chocolate cherry, fresh herb, and spice notes. Enough tannin to stand up to food, but soft and generous. Great wine for lamb or a beef tenderloin!
"Full, bright medium ruby. Pretty but restrained aromas of plum, redcurrant, pomegranate, iron and milk chocolate struck me as Pomerol-like. Suave and sweet, showing a chocolatey ripeness without going over the top. Distinctly fine-grained in texture. Finishes with broad, serious, sweet tannins that coat the front teeth. An excellent merlot-based wine."International Wine Cellar 92 points
- Hedges Syrah DLD Red Mountain 2010 Product #26384 (In Stock)
-
-
A terrific Washington Syrah that marries New World fruit with Old World class. Tom Hedges and Anne-Marie Liégeois met and married in her native Champagne before moving back to Tom's home in Washington and starting their winery in 1986. This wine, from the top Red Mountain AVA, is 100% Syrah aged for 14 months in 65% new oak and the rest used barrels, including French, American, and Hungarian wood. It's intensely perfumed and big in the mouth with notes of dried herb, bacon, cigar, black licorice, and black fruit. Notes of smoke, anise, white pepper and sage emerge on the long, powerful, finish. It should develop well for another decade or so.
- Efeste Final Final Columbia Valley 2009 Product #26434 (In Stock)
-
-
Efeste keeps turning out fascinating, delicious, and wonderfully food-friendly wines from their vineyards in Washington's Columbia Valley. Final Final is one of the few blended wines they make, a marriage of Cabernet Sauvignon (56%), Syrah (42%), and Mouvedre (2%). Cab provides the backbone of the wine, delivering structure, power, and black currant fruit. The Syrah adds juicy black fruits and a touch of spice. Even this tiny bit of Mouvedre delivers more spice and fantastic earthy note. At only 13.3% ABV, this is fresh and bright as well as rich and deep. Fantastic steak and grilled meat wine!
"Very firm and chewy, this red features tannins swarming around its pure currant and fresh berry flavors, finishing with refinement. Needs time."Wine Spectator 90 points
- Sineann Cabernet Columbia Valley 2010 Product #26894 (In Stock)
-
-
Wineries like Sineann are the reason that Washington State has been giving the Napa Valley a run for its money when it comes to 'steak night' Bordeaux varietals at a reasonable price. Looks like the Spectator agrees!
"Focused blackberry and floral flavors mark this fresh, vibrant red, picking up something like Worcestershire sauce on the expressive finish. Try with a steak. Drink now through 2015. 250 cases made"Wine Spectator 90 points
- Baer Ursa Columbia Valley Red 2009 Product #25937 (In Stock)
-
-
We never got to taste the 95 point, WS Top 100 #6, 2008 Ursa but it’s hard to believe it was much better than the 2009! Where the 2008 was mainly Merlot, in 2009 Cabernet Franc excelled in Baer’s Stillwater Creek Vineyard plots, so winemaker Erica Orr went with that as the wine’s core. About a third of the wine is Merlot with 10% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec for spine and depth.
The result is a wine that evokes warm-vintage Pomerol in terms of concentration and elegance but with a big burst of Washington fruit. The aromas show cherry and plum fruit accented by fresh herbs – thyme and marjoram – black olive, and toast notes. The texture is plush and silky with fine density of black cherry, blackberry and plum and dashes of black licorice and bitter cocoa. The tannins are dense but ripe, meaning you can enjoy this now with food and a decant or let it grow in cellar for 5-8 years. A “wow wine” in the best way."(44% cabernet franc, 38% merlot and 9% each cabernet sauvignon and malbec): Good deep, bright ruby-red. Explosive aromas of black raspberry, mocha, smoke and tobacco. Sweet, seamless and shapely, with thoroughly ripe, complex flavors of plum, currant, leather and mocha. In a powerful style but not overly sweet. Finishes with lively blueberry and boysenberry fruit and building tannins. This lovely blend avoids the liqueur-like quality shown by many 2009 reds."International Wine Cellar 93 points
"Firm in texture, this elegant wine has a lithe core of black cherry, raspberry and floral flavors that extend into the long and inviting finish. Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2014 through 2019. 981 cases made."Wine Spectator 92 points
- Efeste Ceidleigh Syrah 2010 Product #26784 (In Stock)
-
-
Very limited.
"Deep bright ruby. Slightly porty aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, licorice and chocolate, lifted by a violet nuance. Seriously concentrated and chewy, with the high-toned porty character carrying through in the mouth. Large-scaled, solid and sweet, showing a lot of baby fat today. Finishes with huge but ripe tannins. Just this side of over the top."International Wine Cellar 90 points
- Sineann Cabernet Block One Columbia Valley 2010 Product #27151 (In Stock)
-
-
Powerful, rich, and very limited!
"The Sineann 2010 Block One represents [Peter] Rosback’s under-300 case production from the eponymous parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon on Champoux Vineyard. Tobacco, resinous herbs and nut oils mingle with blackberry and cassis on an alluring nose and sweetly rich, expansive, finely tannic palate. This finishes with sappy persistence and ought to be worth following for the better part of a decade."Wine Advocate 91 points
