Consensus favorites (as much as you can get a consensus from a group of perpetual overthinkers who just finished the pictures above):
Eroica 2008 Riesling - The collaboration between Dr. Loosen and Chateau Ste. Michelle, although the question fairly came up how CSM puts out a nice $8 riesling, and Dr. L puts out a nice $14 riesling, why must this one almost always be $20 plus (with acknowledgement that it is of high quality)
Seven Hills 2007 Columbia Valley Merlot - It was exciting to end up with a delicious example of WA merlot (as there are some lingering merlot skeptics) This one was juicy but had awesome coffee and toffee to help steal the show.
Amavi 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla - With some stiff competition from a less expensive Charles Smith cab and pretty damn fine Owen Roe Sharecropper's cab this estate bottling took the night (and on #cabernet day of all things)
Overall a great night, thanks to the Young Winos who came and enjoyed.
