Riff - Raff 2006 Columbia Valley Red WinePurchased at Seattle Wine Co.
A very intelligent person recently said to me 'a good bottle of wine should cost $15', actually that person was brilliant!
Riff - Raff (riff' raff') defined
noun
1. those people regarded as worthless, disreputable, etc.
2. worthless stuff
AU CONTRIARE!! This wine is nothing of the sorts and for $15 bucks it has a lot to say!
To start, a marginal Warning: One way or another the alcohol content will have you smiling, either realizing it's there or upon feeling its effects. Ethanol aside, you may very well find malted chocolate, red and black fruits as well as Ron Burgundy's 'rich mahogany' (actually cedar-but it sounded good). A sip or two and discover texture-to-the-third-power! Riff-Raff's center has sweet tones of rich port-like flavors, more chocolate, fine tannins and bright food-friendly acid.
Although not flawless, this wine is still a little diamond in the ruff. I guarantee it crushes (haha) most of its WA state $15 dollar competition and it's worth a try. Remember this label, heck even go out and search for it!
