Some quick notes on each:
The 2001 Betz Pere de Famille Cabernet Sauvignon is probably the star of this bunch. This is a great wine with fruit and veggie notes, acidity and tannins that are a bit rough but are well structured to create a great drinking wine.
The 2002 Red Diamond Shiraz is very similar to the 2001 which I already reviewed. This is still the best wine I have found for under $10.
Second place goes to the 2005 Portteus Zinfandel, which I can never get enough of.
I do not think we got around to opening the Vina Robles cab.
I am not a huge fan of 2006 the ghost of 413 syrah. The name is clever, and the wine is drinkable enough. But if you are looking for value syrah, you can do a lot better than this for $15. Look to Australia.
Still more wines from the Seattle trip to come. Stay tuned.
