Washington Wine of the Month April 2003

Matthews Cellars Syrah
Matt Loso is an amazing winemaker.  His wines constantly win tastings; he´s a fanatic for doing it properly, and his wines all show it.  This is one intense Syrah that drinks well now, but will hold for quite a while as well.

Syncline Merlot
Is there anyone who shops here who doesn´t know James and Poppie Mantone of Syncline?  Two of the nicest people in the business, and they make terrific wine as well.  This Merlot is only being released at the winery; they just didn´t make enough to satisfy demands.  I got lucky.  What the heck - that´s why you come here, yes?
