Palm Beach Illustrated 2008 Mule Skinner Merlot Walla Walla Valley

The 2008 Mule Skinner Merlot is cool and composed, with good acidity and bright flavors of black cherry and plum; it’s very reminiscent of Northstar (to whom the family used to sell fruit). 02/08/2012

Palm Beach Illustrated 2008 Katherine Corkrum Cabernet Franc Walla Walla Valley

The Katherine Corkhum Cabernet Franc, named for a Welsh native to emigrated to Walla Walla in 1897, is intense but graceful, featuring a coulis of dark berry and cassis fruit. 02/08/2012

Palm Beach Illustrated 2008 Derby Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley

Cabernet fans will love the clean, powerful and balanced 2008 Derby. 02/08/2012

Palm Beach Illustrated 2008 Nina Lee Syrah Walla Walla Valley

Nina Lee, the vaudeville performer who married Frederick Corkhum in 1929, gives her name and her image to the 2009 Syrah. Scents of tar, pepper and smoke on the nose are followed by a wine which is full-bodied yet seamless. 02/08/2012

Palm Beach Illustrated

...The six red wines produced at this estate are named for Corkhum’s descendants. The labels carry old family photographs and recall an earlier age, but the wines are anything but quaint---they are striking, delicious and memorable. Taken together, these wines have a common thread---excellent acidity, intense fruit flavors, a judicious use of oak, and remarkable suppleness and balance. They are not cheap (prices range from $50-65) and not easy to find, but well worth seeking out. 02/08/2012
