2020	Pursued by Bear	Syrah ‘Baby Bear’ Columbia Valley	I’ve had this wine ever year since this the first vintage, and this is my favorite vintage so far. Baby’s distilled essence of blackberry aroma joins forces with notes of dried cranberries and fresh-pulled espresso shots. The medium-bodied, balaced Syrah’s flavors run from white pepper and bacon fat to more blackberries drizzled in lemon juice. Editors’ Choice.	Wine Enthusiast	93		2024-06-17
2020	Pursued by Bear	Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley	The Bear’s savory-meaty aromas of barbacoa beef with masa are paired with burst of blackberries, peat and crunchy dried maple leaves. Those same savory qualities appear on the palate, along with dense Bing cherry and chocolate ganache flavors. The balanced wine’s texture is as silky smooth as any color velvet you like.

2020	Dunham	Cabernet Sauvignon 'XXVI' Columbia Valley	The XXVI is filled to the brim with aromas and flavors of black cherries, dark chocolate, violets, vanilla and cedar. Toward the finish, there’s also a forest floor-like note of dried oak leaves. This is a fuller-bodied wine with a texture as silky as its tannins.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2024-06-17
2022	Dunham	Three Legged Red	The story of an injured dog being rescued by a winemaker will always make the Three Legged Red a sentimental favorite of mine. This latest vintage starts with earthy oregano and duff aromas, followed by notes of blackberry and black tea. Brawny tannins back a rich boysenberry jam flavor that is accented by lemon zest and caraway seeds. Woof. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	91		2024-06-17
2020	Ryan Patrick	Rock Island Red Columbia Valley	The opening aromatic foray of black cherries and barbecue beef had me thinking about firing up the backyard smoker. Things get darker and tangier on the palate, with blackberry drinking vinegar and dates mingling with a pronounced black coffee flavor. Try this medium-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-driven blend with bread, bbq sauce and a pile of burnt ends.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2024-06-17
2022	Ocean Road	Cabernet Sauvignon	A mint-chocolate and red-currant combo, with olive and peppery spice nuances, this is a succulent and perfumed, medium-bodied Cab with oodles of fresh red fruit and spice for easy weeknight pairings, and at a bargain basement price. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2024-06-17
2023	Pursued by Bear	Rose 'Blushing Bear' Columbia Valley	The Blushing Bear is 67% Grenache, 33% Mourvèdre and 100% pretty in pink. The opening act of dried rose petals, peach, blood orange and wet slate is a winning one. Guava and sweet Ruby grapefruit flavors surf a crisp mouthfeel, fueled by a laser beam acidity and a bit of thyme.	Wine Enthusiast	90		2024-06-17
2022	Fairvalley	Chenin Blanc	This is a ripe and easy-sipping Chenin Blanc that offers aromas of peach. The palate is medium in weight, with syrupy citrus and stone-fruit flavors. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2024-06-17
2021	Dunham	Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley	Trutina can wreck a diet with its aromas of dark chocolate brownie mix, cassis and a melting beeswax candle. The Merlot-driven blend’s blueberry flavor is pierced by notes of strong coffee and balsa. This wine would be a fine match for bacon burgers and The Black Crowes album of your choice.

2021	Fairvalley	Pinotage	This Pinotage is gentle on the nose, offering light aromas of red fruit. Lean on the palate, this wine displays raspberry flavors that disappear in a short finish. Best Buy.	Wine Enthusiast	Best Buy		2024-06-17
