A mongrel blend of Syrah, Sangiovese, Grenache and Cabernet Franc, this fruity red has a sweet core of blueberry jam, round and forward and quite appealing. It’s dusted with baking spices and fades gently into a soft finish. Hard to imagine a more agreeable bottle of Washington red at this price. ——P.G.(12/31/2010)—— 87

The red wine companion to the excellent Two Vines Vineyard 10 White has got some stuffing, tannins and chewy, herbal flavors, but the fruit holds its own with flavors of wild plum and rhubarb.——P.G.(12/31/2009)—— 85
