Malbec

2013
Malbec

Hibiscus tea, blackberry and white tea dominate this floral beauty. Spring flowers, juicy black fruit and spice come up with air while the palate is round, fresh and light on its feet. Blackberries, tea and spice flow seamlessly with superfine tannins all through the finish.

The inky purple (Malbec rarely lacks for color in Washington) 2013 Malbec gives up lots of liquid blackberry, blueberry, sappy green herbs and crushed rock in its medium to full-bodied, polished, thrillingly pure profile. I love its tannin quality and it will cruise for a decade in the cellar. This is a first-rate Malbec!
