the wallula vineyard, set high atop a bluff overlooking the columbia river, gives grapes that bring dark, roasted flavors to the large-scale wine. the fruit tastes as if it has been pushed, perhaps a bit too far, and the impression it leaves tilts toward the raisiny side. it's a wine that could go in a positive direction with cellar time, but it is impossible to tell right now, as it cuts off quickly once in the mouth.
