K Vintners "The Creator" and "The Boy"
Once again, winemaker Charles Smith performs a clean sweep on the club with these two spectacular wines - as long as you can get past the label on The Creator!  As usual, both wines are rich and luscious, with powerful fruit and great expression of the vineyard´s terrior.  The 2003 Boy, which in the past has been a tempranillo blend, is this year a blend of 68% Grenache, 18% Syrah, and 14% Mourvedre, all from Walla Walla Valley.  There is a small amount left at $35.00, cheap for what you get.  The 2003 Creator, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon from Christophe Baron´s En Cerise Vineyard and 40% Syrah from the famed Seven Hills Vineyard, is also quite a mouthful.  There´s a small amount left for $45.00.  Either of these wines would go well with rich, dark foods - steak, rib roasts and the like.  They are excellent now, and will hold well for another five years.  Enjoy!
