Nose
Malbec’s unique aromas of blackberry bramble
and gamey dried mushrooms is layered with herbs,
tobacco leaf, pepper, and earth.
Palate
A lush, complex beauty
that is smooth but has the acidity and tannins to cellar.
Aging
Aged in 100% 60 gallon barrels of which 20% are
new American oak air dried for 36 months. Extra air
drying (normal is 2 year) softens the raw tannins and
heavy vanilla character American oak is known for.
The effect on the wine is more subtle and elegant.
Food Pairing
Pair this Malbec from our Walla Walla Estate vineyards
with grilled or smoked meats or by itself.
