Righteous 2008 Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $14

This is a pleasant red blend, mostly Merlot, with a splash or two of Cab and Syrah. Tart and young, it’s nicely structured and spicy, with balanced flavors of herb and plum. Hints of cumin and Asian spices add further interest. — P.G. (12/15/2011)

Righteous 2008 Righteous Sangiovese (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $20

Front-loaded fruit has a strawberry soda pop flavor, but the wine gains a little extra depth from the tannins and barrels, which add texture, spice and a bit of salty chocolate. — P.G. (9/1/2010)

Righteous 2007 Red Wine (Wahluke Slope)

Online Exclusive

Price $12

Righteous is a new budget label for Sweet Valley Winery. Mostly Merlot, this smooth, fruity red wine is ready to drink. It tastes like a latter-day version of the Hearty Burgundies of old, only with better fruit, and a hint of hazelnut in the finish. — P.G. (12/1/2009)

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

Online Exclusive

Price $24

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. — P.G. (9/1/2010)

points

Righteous 2009 Malbec (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $24

Primary, light fruit flavors of strawberry touched with herb. Not much else going on in this young, still raw and grapey wine. — P.G. (12/15/2011)
