Red Table Wine Tapteil Vineyard 99
91 points(+) $34.99 SALE $29.99
Bright medium-ruby color. Perfumed aromas of dark berries, cherry , baking chocolate, violet, lead pencil and gingerbread. More concentrated than the Spring Valley blend with insinuating sweetness and a very suave texture. A shapely, structured wine with impressive flavor intensity. Finishes very long, with supple, thoroughly ripe tannins.
Perhaps the most exciting new Washington State wine I tasted this year.

Red Table Wine Spring Valley 99
88 points(+) $34.99 SALE $29.99
Full deep red. Aromatic nose combines blue fruits, tree bark, espresso, bitter chocolate and menthol; reminded me a bit of Cheval Blanc. Smooth and ripe but tightly wrapped and restrained, with bright, nicely integrated acidity contributing to the impression of backbone. Not yet pliant but not hard. Youthfully unevolved and structured to age. 88(+?)
