Flying Trout 2008 Deep River Red Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Deep River Red
Variety: Red Blend Washington
Winery: Flying Trout / Columbia Valley (WA)

The 2008 vintage produced some truly outstanding red wines in Washington, if your palate runs to higher acid, bright fruit styles. This is a perfect example; it’s loaded with raspberries, strawberries and pretty berry fruit aromas. The acids prop it up perfectly; it’s front loaded but has the balance and tightness to cellar for a few years. But really—drink it young.
