Righteous Wines - 2008 Tempranillo
Winemaker Notes:
It is showing smoky, cedar notes on the nose with raspberries and dill. This wine coats your palate and fills your mouth with smoked salmon, herbs, and nice silky tannins with a lasting finish.

Righteous Wines - 2008 Sangiovese
Winemaker Notes:
Sangiovese has long been a tradition between my Dad and me since I was very little. This 2008 “Sangio” comes entirely from Seven Hills Vineyard in Walla Walla Valley. Notes of sage, red fruits and lavender sexily strut out of the glass. A soft, round, mouth feel with nice acid, complete the “Righteousocity” of the wine while more red fruits such raspberries and strawberries compliment the nose. The awesome acidity and a light wine make for an excellent pairing with foods all across the spectrum

Righteous Wines - 2009 Riesling
Winemaker Notes:
A sense of lychee fruit with an awesome minerality, lemon zest and jolly ranchers appear aromatically. Memories of my mother cleaning with my favorite green apple scented dish soap surface. A puckering acidity rolls over your tongue, with more green apple and the sensation of almost biting into a lavender blossom.

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker Notes:
This wine is tight, almost like my Dad who runs the financial side of the winery. Decant this wine to reveal the chocolate and earthy aromas. Imagine venturing into a forest bountiful with berries, shrooms, and pine trees with the aromas that might entail. Then, think about stuffing all of that into your mouth with enticing flavors and a mouth feel that is concentrated to the point of a Hiroshima- like eruption all over your tongue. Enjoy now and for years to come.

2007 Merlot
Winemaker Notes:
Is this really a Merlot? Sure it has cherry and strawberry jam notes, but what about the black licorice, mint, and spice cake on the nose? Coming off of that is the cinnamon, apple peel, and caramel to combine with soft tannins that enticingly make their way down your throat time after time. After time, damn!

2007 Syrah
Winemaker Notes:
When reviewing this wine for the tasting notes, I could not stop thinking about breakfast. Hungry or not, I ate this wine up with visions of sugarplums, or just plums, oranges, rhubarb, mushrooms and prosciutto that seemingly was dried inside of a cedar lined cigar box. Silky smooth tannins and ripe fruit round out the mouth feel with more orange for acid and bacon fat to cut through the acid. I’m not saying that you should drink it for breakfast, but I’m not saying not to either.

Righteous Wines - 2008 Rosé
Winemaker Notes:
Think back to your childhood (or even lately) when you popped a red Jolly Rancher and a Hot Tamale candy into your mouth. Mix all of that intensity with a little bit of cranberries, strawberries, butterscotch, green pepper, and hints of chocolate and think to yourself…. What a Righteous Rose!

Righteous Wines - 2007 Malbec
Winemaker Notes:
Malbec is an insanely hot varietal in Washington right now. Once thought to have been the “lost Bordeaux grape”, it is BACK, and it’s totally Righteous. With aromas like pot roast, lavender, cherry and orange blossoms it screams to be drank. Exploding in your mouth is rhubarb pie, sour cherry cinnamon and a raisin aspect finishing strong.

2008 Viognier
Winemaker Notes:
The wine itself seductively flows out of the glass, immediately revealing melon, roses, and lemon zest. Careful examination shows a chalky and earthy dust component complimenting a honey and Earl Grey tea aroma. Upon first taste, the wine imitates biting into a green Granny Smith apple or a cool slice of orange with peel. Beautiful acid and an almost “nut- like”, rosemary astringency linger on the finish for minutes after swallowing.

2006 Double Barrel Red Blend
Winemaker Notes:
“As the wine opens up, it becomes more intense with a stronger finish. The nose is greeted by red rose petals accompanied by subtle chocolate aromas. Smooth, light spices fade away to tannins and blackberries that linger. Our 2006 signature blend has a lot to offer”

2005 Merlot
Winemaker Notes:
“Not overpowering with oak allows the true fruit of the Walla Walla Valley to shine through. Juicy cherry stands out, with a hint of vanilla close behind on the nose. This wine fills the mouth with fruits like blackberries and finishes with spices that work very well together.
