Tasting Notes
Malbec from the Walla Walla Valley showcases the versatility we have in this magical land. Fruit from three stellar vineyard sites was blended to craft this beauty. The wine opens with aromas of mint, mountain berries, clove, peppercorns, and graham cracker. Mouthwatering flavors of juicy blueberries and boysenberries swirl on the palate, framed in silky supple tannins and a long, delicious finish.
Drink 2020-2030.
