2005 Côte Bonneville DuBrul Vineyard
94 points WS
Polished, focused, and juicy, with bright red fruit flavors that mingle appealingly with hints of chocolate and cherry as the finish lingers expressively on a refined frame. There's an elegance to this, and a depth that only becomes apparent with successive sips. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now to 2016. 700 cases made. - HS
2005 Côte Bonneville DuBrul Vineyard 95+pts WA
A Dry Red Table wine from Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, Washington, USA
The 2005 Côte Bonneville will be released in April, 2009. It has everything that the 2004 has and more. It is a more structured effort and will benefit from 6-8 years of cellaring. If you don’t know about this winery, it’s time to get it in gear. Dr. Hugh and Kathy Shiels planted the DuBrul Vineyard a number of years ago and are now making wine under the Côte Bonneville label from their estate fruit. Review by Jay Miller.
