Walla Walla Valley Malbec 2019

A Malbec is loaded with distinctive flavors: a medley of wild berries, blueberries and cardamom spice. It features both intensity and tension, with a coiled energy that promises a decade of delicious drinking. The wine comes from the Southwind Vineyard in Milton Freewater. Situated at 1,400 feet of altitude, Southwind has soils loaded with fractured basalt, a very unusual profile for Eastern Washington. The high-stone content and cooler temparatures at altitude give the Malbec from this vineyard a freshness and minerality that make it unique. Just 45 cases produced.
