Score | Name | Notes | $ | |
+ | RiverAeirie Malbec 2006 | The nose on this wine evolved quite a bit after being opened a short time. It started out with spice and leather and over time these were replaced by berry and floral aromas with a touch of black pepper. A good full feel on the palate for a medium-bodied wine. A good example of the varietal. | $19 | |
** | Bunnell Family Cellars RiverAeire Efete 2005 | A nice, engaging nose marked by blackberry, spice, and anise. A good mid-palate and finish marked by lush tannins. Exceptional for the price point. | $19 | |
** | Bunnell Family Cellars A Pic 2005 | A perfectly put together wine with a beautiful taste and finish The nose is surprisingly subtle with light barbequed green pepper aromas. | $28 | |

RiverAerie, their second label wine, is named after their herb farm on the Yakima River. Bunnell’s 2005 releases are truly impressive. The 2006’s are expected to be released later this summer.
