2006 Walla Walla Valley Malbec

2005 Walla Walla Valley Malbec

Silver Medal, 2008
Oregon State Fair

Our 2006 Walla Walla Valley Malbec is a light-bodied red wine with intense purple hue, complex aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, cassis, sweet tobacco, and even a hint of milk chocolate. The lively, full flavors begin with dark cherry, turn into blueberry and licorice on the mid-palate, and then transition into hints of pepper and lingering cherry on the finish. Lush, lively mouthfeel, great balance and integrated oak combine to make this a very good wine.
