Malbec, 2007 - SOLD OUT

The RiverAerie Malbec comes from the Northridge Vineyard in the Wahluke Slope. This warm site produces Malbec with depth and length of flavor as well as a unique spicy character. We have been completely seduced by the fruit from this vineyard and anticipate world class wines as the vines mature.  

 

 

 

Winemaker’s Notes:
 

 

 

Deep garnet in color; spicy aromas of black pepper and cardamom; bright red plums and black cherries on the palate; firm but friendly tannins on entry, with a focus of black stone fruit on the mid-palate and a lingering finish of spice and fresh cherries.
