title: Spring Valley Vineyard 2007 Frederick Red Wine Red (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
description: Spring Valley wines have never been shy and retiring, but here the alcohol – 15.2% – seems to quickly mute the textural subtleties. Though it suggests a panoply of red and black fruits in the nose, the palate is a wash of coffee, toast, tannin and alcohol. The flavors get muddy and the alcohol strips the wine of its terroir.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Frederick Red Wine
