Waterbrook
Reserve Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Warm; red plum with leather and sweet pipe Tobacco. Opens like Rioja, but finishes in Washington form; cool, with honed tannins. — 13 years ago
Dries nicely the morning after; pronounced with dry cherry and vanilla.
Abacela
Umpqua Valley Tempranillo 2007
Proof of terroir: this is damn fine Tempranillo, but it is definitely not Rioja. — 12 years ago

It doesn't try to be, though. I like that about Abacela.
Yes, it is tribute but not impersonation.
I think Tempranillo might be THE grape for southern Oregon. (Umpqua/Applegate)
