2015	Dunham Cellars	Riesling Columbia Valley Lewis Vineyard	Made in an off-dry style (there's 11% alcohol), the 2015 Riesling Lewis Vineyard is clean and vibrant, with notes of lychee, green citrus and flower blossom. Delicious on the palate, with a solid balance between sugar and acidity, it's going to be versatile on the dinner table, and I suspect it will have a long life (although I see no need to hold off).

2017	Bodegas Nekeas	Vega Sindoa Barrel Fermented Chardonnay	Bright yellow. Smoky, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh citrus and pit fruits and honeysuckle, along with a vanilla nuance and a hint of sweet butter. Vibrant and focused on the palate, offering Meyer lemon and white peach flavors that open up slowly with aeration. Shows bright, stony character on the incisive finish, which leaves behind citrus fruit and floral notes.	Vinous	90		2019-04-03
2017	Bodegas Nekeas	Vega Sindoa Tempranillo	Vivid ruby. Spice-accented red/blue fruit scents are complemented by candied licorice and cracked pepper notes. Offers nicely concentrated bitter cherry and raspberry flavors, along with a spicy undertone that adds lift and back-end cut. Picks up a floral quality on the energetic finish, which features rounded tannins and a repeating red berry note. This wine delivers superb value. (All stainless steel.)	Vinous	90		2019-04-03
2016	Bodegas Nekeas	Vega Sindoa El Chaparral	Brilliant ruby-red. Expressive aromas of raspberry, cherry liqueur and candied flowers are energized by a smoky mineral topnote. Appealingly sweet and seamless on the palate, offering intense red fruit preserve, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen and spread out slowly with aeration. Shows hints of star anise and allspice on an impressively long, sappy finish that features discreet tannins and a refreshingly bitter suggestion of blood orange. There's something Pinot-like about this graceful but concentrated wine, which delivers amazing value. (Aged for five months in new and used French oak.)	Vinous	92		2019-04-03
2014	Pursued by Bear	Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	Precise and firm at this point in its development, but with a bright future ahead, showing expressive blackberry, savory spice and espresso flavors that build complexity toward broad-shouldered tannins. Best from 2020 through 2026. 210 cases made.	Wine Spectator	92		2019-04-03
2015	Bodegas Nekeas	Vega Sindoa Cabernet Sauvignon	Vivid ruby-red. Aromas of fresh black/blue fruits, along with hints of licorice, leather and smoky minerals. Palate-staining bitter cherry and cassis flavors show good depth and a sweetening touch of vanilla on the back half. Displays good clarity and floral lift on a long, smooth finish featuring repeating smokiness and dusty, slow-building tannins.	Vinous	90		2019-04-02
2016	Morgan Winery	Chardonnay Double L Vineyard	The Chardonnay Double L Vineyard displays a flinty, honeyed nose with hints of honeysuckle and toasted oak. Aged 15 months in French oak, 15% new, it is richly flavored with a creaminess and hints of hazelnut and rich fruit. It has good acidity and balance and a persistent finish.	i-Wine Review	92		2019-04-01
2016	Morgan Winery	Chardonnay Double L Vineyard	Powerful, mineral-accented Meyer lemon, pear and vanilla scents show very good clarity and complicating suggestions of fennel and toasty lees. Minerally and focused in the mouth, offering pliant citrus and orchard fruit flavors; deeper suggestions of honey and buttered toast emerge on the back half. Shows impressive depth as well as energy and finishes smoky and very long, with a suave floral nuance hanging on.	Vinous	93		2019-04-01
