The 2008 Oui Deux Syrah was co-fermented with 5% Viognier and aged for 20 months in 50% new oak. Earthy minerals, brier, wild blueberries, and pepper inform the nose of a savory, sweetly-fruited, layered, incipiently complex wine with enough structure to blossom for 2-3 years. It will be at its best from 2012 to 2020. Annette Bergevin and Amber Lane continue to turn out excellent wines at very fair prices from their Walla Walla-based winery. The current releases, particularly the Syrah cuvees, appear to be their best wines to date. The Calico wines are always terrific values and the new releases are no exception.Tel.

In sharp contrast to the heavily oaked companion Syrahs from Bergevin Lane, the Oui Deux puts the fruit up front. Spicy and sharp-toned, it was co-fermented with 5% Viognier, and for all practical terms is a Stonetree Vineyard bottling. It should continue to improve nicely with a couple more years of bottle age. ——P.G.(2/1/2012)—— 88

The 2006 Syrah Oui Deux is again predominantly sourced from the Stone Tree Vineyard and contains 5% Viognier co-fermented. It was aged for 14 months in one-third new French and Eastern European oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it delivers a complex perfume of smoke, game, espresso, licorice, blueberry, and blackberry. Full-bodied on the palate, it has layers of succulent fruit, plenty of peppery spice notes, excellent balance, and a fruit-filled finish. It will evolve for 4-6 years and have a drinking window extending from 2014 to 2021. Bergevin Lane, located in Walla Walla, continues to make impressive wines at a range of price points. These three value wines are first-class.Tel. (509) 526-4300; www.bergevinlane.com

The 2005 Syrah Oui Deux was co-fermented with 8% Viognier and aged in 25% new French and American oak. Purple-colored, the aromas reveal smoke, cedar, leather, and blueberry. Made in an elegant style, the wine has a silky texture, savory flavors, fine depth and concentration and a long, pure finish. Bergevin Lane, owned and operated by Annette Bergevin and Amber Lane, has another top-notch set of new releases.Tel. (509) 526-4300; www.bergevinlane.com
