Holmes Harbor Cellars 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon

Appellation: Walla Walla Valley

The marriage of Greg and Theresa Martinez, the latter with a career in chemistry, has helped put Greenbank, Wash., on the winemaking map with its first vintage. Fruit from well-known Les Collines Vineyard fills the glass with aromas of black cherries, strawberry fruit leather, raspberry and some leafiness. Drink in tones of candied black cherries, moist earth, milk chocolate and oregano, and the finish is reminiscent of a raspberry reduction sauce. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine.

Price: $28.

Cases produced: 92.

Food matches: Fire up the grill for this luscious red wine. A flank or ribeye steak will pair perfectly. Top with sauteed onions or mushrooms.
