2022	Dunham	Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley	This stellar edition of Trutina was stored in mainly natural oak barrels (30% new French oak) before bottling.Mocha, tar and anise flavors mingle well with dark currants and chocolate on the palate. A killer value, with good mouthfeel and mid-palate depth and complexity, enjoy now and over the next eight to ten years. Drink 2025-2035	Owen Bargreen	93		2026-03-06
2021	Dunham	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	The XXVII is a perennial contender for a top Washington State Cabernet value. At a lower ABV than many of the wines from the Columbia Valley appellation (13.7%), this wine exhibits nuanced fruit and spice on the nose, with notes of currants and ripe cherry flesh, as well as savoury rosehip oil. Freshly fruited on the palate, with great dusty minerality. Fresh strawberries, black cherries and a distinguishing note of garrigue leading to a savoury finish.	Decanter	93		2026-03-06
2024	Dunham	Chardonnay 'Shirley Mays'	Dawning a brand new label for ’24, the Dunham Cellars ‘Shirley Mays’ Chardonnay was stored in roughly a third new French oak prior to bottling. Sourced from the Kenny Hill and Lewis Vineyards, this is dense and delicious on the mouth, with bright acidity. This is elegant throughout the drinking experience, with nutty and earthy tones giving it a very Washington meets Montrachet feel. Drink 2025-2033	Owen Bargreen	93		2026-03-06
2024	Dunham	Chardonnay 'Shirley Mays'	A Chardonnay sourced from the Columbia Valley, the Shirley May's shows aromas of nutmeg-spiced apple tart, cinnamon and ripe pear flesh. The palate if mouthfilling with bruised yellow apples, baking spice and vanilla bean.	Decanter	90		2026-03-06
2023	Dunham	Three Legged Red'	A value blend that comes from the best barrels and fruit selection of the Dunham Cellars wines. Classic notes of eucalyptus and tobacco leaf, graphite and red fruit all show very prettily. The palate offers fresh black and blue fruits, a melange of savoury herbs and a wonderfully lifted finish.	Decanter	92		2026-03-06
2021	Dunham	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	The outstanding 2021 ‘Columbia Valley’ Cabernet Sauvignon was stored in 40% new French oak before bottling. This needs about 30 minutes of air for tannins to soften. Kirsch and sagebrush notes collide with espresso bean and shades of dark chocolate shavings on the palate. The combination of weight and finesse here makes this impeccably balanced. This is easily going to go for another fifteen years. Drink 2025-2040	Owen Bargreen	94		2026-03-06
2023	Dunham	Three Legged Red'	A juicy and delicious 2023 bottling for 20 bucks, the 2023 ‘Three Legged Red’ offers candied red fruits that mingle well with sweet pipe tobacco and black licorice notes. Drink 2025-2030	Owen Bargreen	90		2026-03-06
2024	Floriography	Blooming White	Floral aromas emerge on the nose of this blend made from aromatic white grapes like Chenin Blanc, Muscat, and Viognier, among others. It shows mild citrus and herbal flavors with moderate freshness lifting the palate. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2026-03-03
2024	Decibel	Sauvignon Blanc Crownthorpe	Typical to Hawke's Bay, this is a lusher, more tropical-fruited Savvy B than those found in the South Island. Winemaker—and expat American—Daniel Brennan's wines always have that handcrafted, lo-fi appeal of small-batch winemaking. This single-vineyard bottling is no different. Spiced pineapple and peach, honeyed oatmeal, and ginger march to a palate that's less concentrated than the nose implies, but with a lovely balance of textural weight and mouthwatering acidity that makes this a pleasant drop outside the typical Savvy B canon. Hidden Gem.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2026-03-03
2021	Decibel	Red Blend Gimblett Gravels ‘Testify’	Inky in color, this blend of Malbec and Syrah has all the ripe, rich, hug-in-a-glass qualities you'd expect from the combo of these varieties. The pepper-sprinkled ripe dark berry fruit is etched in toasty, chocolate notes. Still quite primary and plump, it's a classic steak wine, but should gain more complexity with another several years in bottle.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2026-03-03
