I think a \u201clocal boy makes good wine\u201d story sounds even better.  Let me fill you in on the details.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Harris, a graduate of Sehome High School, is co-owner of newcomer Coeur d\u2019Alene Cellars, located about 45 minutes east of Spokane.  Along with co-owner and general manager Kimber Gates and winemaker Warren Schutz, Harris is producing some truly amazing wines that deserve your consideration.<\/p>\n<p>On a recent visit I sampled their 2003 Viognier (about $18), a lovely, fragrant white wine with a beautiful, deep golden color.  It has plenty of subtle apricot, peach and melon flavors and a toasty, creamy finish.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cdacellars.com\/images\/winelabels\/cda-syrah2002label.gif\" alt=\"null\" \/>I also enjoyed the 2002 Syrah (about $25), made from Walla Walla and Yakima Valley grapes.  The wine is wonderfully complex with dark berry flavors and a distinctively plumy\/spicy finish that is ultra-soft.  This vintage, as well as the \u201803 Viognier, remains in limited quantities and the new releases of each wine will most likely be available later this year.<\/p>\n<p>If you get an opportunity to visit the newly appointed, immaculate tasting room, be sure to try both the 2003 No. 6 Red (about $16) and the 2003 Meritage (about $25) which are currently offered only at the winery.<\/p>\n<p>Coeur d\u2019Alene Cellars wines can be found in the wine section of Bellingham-area Haggen stores.
