Michelle and its sister winery, Columbia Crest, have been fine-tuning their approaches to Syrah since 1995, and plans are to dive into production of this varietal in a big way. A ripe 1998 vintage produced a gorgeous example of what's possible in Washington with Syrah. This wine is rich and fragrant, a supple and yummy mouthful of plum, blackberry and cherry fruit that mingles on the creamy finish with hints of vanilla and exotic spices. It's beautifully made, and packed with enough flavor to develop with cellaring. Drink now through 2008. "Have your own tasting notes?

Dense and thick, with an unctuous texture as well as fine underlying acidity, smoky oak, rich, leesy, hazelnut married with copious quantities of tropical fruit, and a flamboyant personality, this sensational Chardonnay should drink well for 4-5 years"Have your own tasting notes?

Our own Gary Vaynerchuk also gave this wine his own 95+ rating back on June 8th! "Glorious blackberries, currants and berries. Full-bodied and incredibly classy, with a solid palate and ultrafine tannins. Goes on and on. One of the most underrated producers in the business. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2006" - The Wine Spectator - "The Seraselva is 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is a full-bodied with good tannic structure. Seraselva displays aromas of cedar, cigar-box, and deep, dark fruit. The wine has powerful flavors of black currant, licorice and with strong impressions of oak. The extracted and tannic structure of this wine could benefit from bottle aging.The Seraselva was scored 93 Points by the Wine Spectator last year,this is clearly a far superior wine." - 95+ Points - Gary Vaynerchuk (June 8, 2001)Have your own tasting notes?

Sumptuous aromas of blueberries, blackberries, and cherries combine with smoke, licorice, vanillin, and truffles to create a compelling aromatic explosion. The wine is fabulously dense, full-bodied, and layered, with multiple dimensions, gorgeous purity, and superbly integrated acidity as well as tannin. One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage, it possesses immense potential, but patience is requires. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2030" Have your own tasting notes?

Exceptionally rich with an outstanding texture, this medium to full-bodied wine possesses a distinctive, individualistic style, largely because of its floral, blueberry fruit flavors. Although accessible, it will age for two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020." Have your own tasting notes?

The dense ruby/purple-colored 1997 Chianti Classico Riserva is the finest wine I have tasted from this relatively new estate...medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with low acidity and ripe tannin, it is a voluptuous, pure, super-concentrated yet accessible 1997 Chianti Classico."
