Righteous 2008 Righteous Tempranillo (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Tempranillo
Winery: Righteous / Righteous

This has so much raw, rough oak flavor when first opened that the fruit is nearly invisible. Tempranillo may well have a real future in the Walla Walla Valley, but first it has to be freed from the woods. Give this plenty of breathing time.
