Tasting Notes
Known for its dark color and vibrant fruit, Malbec shines in the Walla Walla Valley, and the 2023 vintage shows an inky purple deliciousness in spades. Deeply colored and expressive, it bursts with aromas of blueberry, blackberry, and ripe raspberry, accented by subtle notes of cocoa and spice. The palate is plush and generous, overflowing with juicy dark berry flavors layered with hints of vanilla and graham cracker. Supple tannins and balanced richness carry the wine to a long, satisfying finish. Enjoy!
