    BOUDREAUX CELLARS   Reserve   '03   Icicle Canyon    
    This Cab reserve boasts 100% Cabernet Sauvignon fruit from the infamous Champoux Vineyards of Horse Heaven Hills in Walla Walla.  Earlier this year Rob's '03 Cabernet Sauvignon won "Best Cabernet Sauvignon in WA" in the acclaimed KING CAB COMPETITION put on by Wine Press Northwest and is, of course, all long gone.  We haven't been able to get our hands on any of his wine until now.  This is a very special bottle indeed.

 

    
    WOODWARD CANYON    #13 Artist Series    Walla Walla    
    "The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series also contains 1% Cabernet Franc and is a blend from five of the top vineyards in the state.  It was aged predominantly in new French oak for 20 months.  The wine is opaque purple-colored with a fragrant bouquet of pain grille, spice box, black cherry and black currants.  It is full bodied with a supple palate-feel, oodles of sweet fruit and ripe tannins.  This impressive effort manages to combine power and elegance.  It will benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring and drink well through 2030."       

Robert Parker's    THE WINE ADVOCATE    August 2007                     93 POINTS!!!

 

    
    SAVIAH CELLARS    '05    Walla Walla    
    Pepper Bridge Vineyard, Seven Hills Vineyard, McClellan Estate Vineyard                                     Only 304 cases produced!  Indulge in powerful scents of flowers, ripe wild berries and baking spices....move luxuriously through the body of the wine that offers colorful layers of seductive black cherry and red berry fruit flavors that linger long with silky tannins in the finish.

 

    
    SANDHILL WINERY   '03   Benton City    
     John's cabs have won Double Gold medals over the past few years and we expect this bottle to do the same.  If there is anything different about the '03 it's that the tannins aren't quite so "in your face"...this is a smooth, smooth wine folks.

 

    
    STEMILT CREEK WINERY   '02   Wenatchee    
    Can't find a good local Cab?  Look no further.  Jan's wine is knockin' our socks off!

    RIDGEFIELD   '04   Benton City    
    Rich caramel, vanilla, spicy oak & juicy black raspberry jam fruit aromas.

MAYRE   '04   Dunnigan Hills    
    NEW!!  This just in from our private broker in Sacramento.  95% Merlot  5% Cabernet Sauvignon  Our regulars have commented that this special red could quite possibly be the VERY BEST Merlot they have ever tasted.  Seriously.                   Just three cases purchased.

 

    
HIGHTOWER CELLARS   '04   Benton City    
    This big Washington Merlot offers decadent aromas of blue fruits with notes of warm smoke & sweet, toasted oak with a generous palate of dark, home-grown cherries.

 

    
    WEDGE MOUNTAIN WINERY   '05   Peshastin    
    Charlie has a magic touch.  Everyone loves this wine!

 

    
    STEMILT CREEK WINERY   '02   Wenatchee    
    We knew when we tasted Jan Mathison's reds a few months ago that when she was ready to release then they belonged on our list.  What a thrill it was to come across a fabulous new local winery with such high standards!

    SAVIAH CELLARS  - Red Mountain    '05    Walla Walla    
   

Double Gold Medal   - Wine Press Northwest             90 POINTS!!   - Wine Spectator                         This beautiful Syrah starts with gorgeous aromas of blackberry, cherry, lilacs and black olives. The wine shows deep purple color, with flavors of black cherry and plums accented by hints of roasted meat, smoke and licorice. This Syrah has ample structure to lay down for 5-7 years.

 

    
    SAINT LAURENT    '04    Malaga    
   

Again, this estate grown beauty of Mike and Laura's originated on their very own Wahluke Slope Vineyard where the hot sun and good soil along the rolling Columbia River provide for superior grape growing.  This syrah is the very reason we chose to add Saint Laurent to our small but precious list.

 

  
    BALSAMROOT WINERY & VINEYARD    
    Bronze Medal  - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Awards                                                                      Butterscotch, caramel, red cedar and spicy flavors dominate this latest local Syrah from a Wahluke Slope Vineyard.  Rich, bold and well balanced with incredible aromas.  Drink now through 2011.  220 cases produced

    SMITH WOOTON   '05   Napa    
    Gary Wooton is originally from Wenatchee and he travels home to see his Mom often, always being sure to stop in and say hi along his way.  Every wine of Gary's is a true labor of love.  You won't ever find a rough edge in any of his wines, he could be one of the finest winemakers living today.  Our regulars have been know to catch him in the restaurant and ask for his autograph!  Wow.

    CHEHALEM    '06    Willamette Valley  
    A fully ripe and complex wine by virtue of blending estate grown grapes from the Ridgecrest, Stoller and Corral Creek Vineyards, this "3 Vineyards" Pinot Noir is one of the new additions to our boutique wine list.  You must give it a try..

    WHITMAN CELLARS   '05   Walla Walla    
    The 2003 and 2004 vintages of this wine both received 90 Points from Wine Spectator and we're expecting nothing less from this 2005.  It is characterized by essences of ripe pineapple, banana and grapefruit integrated with real vanilla, caramel and toast tones.

    DEERFIELD RANCH WINERY   '05   Sonoma Valley    
    The nose is full and rich with hints of mango and pear, taste is smooth with layers of tropical fruit, especially ripe grapefruits.  Its full layered structure and long, lingering are almost surprising where the flavors are riper than the previous vintage.  Fabulously assertive with out being hot, refreshing without being thin.  Wow!

    THURSTON WOLF   '06   Benton City    
    One of our best whites, this is a fun, fun deck sipper.

 

    
    WEDGE MOUNTAIN WINERY   '06   Peshastin    
    Delightful summer wine from fruit grown in the lower Columbia Valley in the Evergreen Vineyard.

 

    
    RIDGEFIELD   '06   Benton City    
    This soft & fruity off-dry white wine pairs fabulously with our sea scallops and Penn Cove mussels.

TOWNSHEND    '06    Colbert                                                   

   
   

Fabulous semi-sweet white from the Spokane area, its winemaker has won several Gold Medals for his big red over the past few years and his whites are just as fabulous.

BALSAMROOT WINERY & VINEYARD                               

   
   

Many Gewurztraminers are made quite sweet and since this particular one is dry it makes it VERY food friendly.  This delicate and crisp white wine expresses fresh picked Lychee and other tropical fruit flavors in the mouth.  It will pair well with all of our fresh seafood and our spicier pastas.

    BARONE CIANI BASSETTI    Prosecco V.S.A.Q.    '06    Italy    
    Prosecco is a very special sparkling wine from Venice Italy and it is especially popular during the holidays.  Magically it does not come with the usual headaches that champagne can induce and it's fabulous as an aperitif or with your first course.  Prosecco says, "Let's Celebrate!"

 

    
    ROEDERER ESTATE    Brut    Anderson Valley, CA
