Lively and transparent. Sweet start. Although there is good acidity, there is not quite enough purity and freshness overall. (JR)

A fabulous success in the vintage, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is an age worthy effort that gives up classic currant and plum styled fruits, licorice, earth and lead pencil shavings to go with a full-bodied, beautifully concentrated and layered profile on the palate. Opening up a time in the glass and showing impressive mid-palate depth and fine tannin on the finish, it can be consumed anytime over the coming 10 to 12 years. This is another solid lineup by the team at Tamarack Cellars. The wines are made by Danny Gordon and show classic, nicely structured styles that will evolve gracefully. Across the board, these are impressive wines that are all rock-solid values. Tel. (509) 526-3533; www.tamarackcellars.com
