| Score | Name | Notes | $ | |
| * | Liberty Bay Cabernet Stillwater Creek Columbia Valley 2005 | A delicate nose with pencil shavings and spicy plum. A tight fruit core surrounded by black fruit and lots of black currant. A slow attack that opens up and then blossoms. A bit short on the finish. 13.8% alcohol. 175 cases produced. | $33 | |
| + | Liberty Bay Syrah Columbia Valley 2006 | An unusual nose with mulberry and a light nut component along with something I just can’t put my finger on. At times, floral to the extent of almost seeming perfumed. A thick, gripping taste that is a bit over-extracted. 15.4% alcohol. 194 cases produced. | $25 | |
| . | Liberty Bay Merlot Conner Lee Vineyard 2005 | A fairly light nose with spice, dark licorice, a sweet component, and a whiff of nail polish. A bit over-extracted and tart. 14.7% alcohol. 74 cases produced. | $38 | |
| + | Liberty Bay Cabernet Conner Lee Vineyard 2005 | An engaging nose with dark rich spice and dried fruit. A bit of alcohol on the nose. A rich wine that is a bit over-extracted but opens up and expands nicely. Has the best finish of those tasted. 14.7% alcohol. 25 cases produced. | $33 | |
