94 Pts -- New Wine Spectator Scores
Spring Valley Uriah and Frederick 03, Pedestal 02
Chance to order before they sell out
****************************************

Wine Spec's Insider email news today gives high ratings to three Washington wines that will, unfortunately, sell out immediately now that they've been recognized by the grand poobahs of Wine Rating. We haven't tasted the wine, but wanted to make sure that our best customers had a chance to order some if they wanted it.

Please place your order with us by phone, email, or Avalon shopping cart by Thurday noon, as the feeding frenzy at the distributor should sell it out after that.

Spring Valley
Uriah Walla Walla Valley 2003 $40.46/$44.95

"Supple and generous, beautifully structured to show
off currant, plum and blackberry flavors, gently supported
with ultrarefined tannins. Delicious now, but this has miles to go.
Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2013." —H.S.


Pedestal (from LongShadows) $53.95/$59.95
Merlot Columbia Valley 2003

"Big, rich and generous, a lavish mouthful of currant,
blackberry and a touch of spice and earth that weave
through the finish and linger. First wine from a partnership
involving Michel Rolland in Washington.
Best from 2007 through 2013."—H.S.

Spring Valley
Frederick Walla Walla Valley 2003
$40.46/$44.95

Opulent currant and spice notes, this beautifully
structured red is mouthfilling, with juicy, wellpacked
flavors. Polished and supple on the long finish.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and
Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2013.—H.S.

We're available by phone until 6PM Pacific time, if we can help with questions, etc.

Thanks so much for your patronage!
