2018 Three Rivers Summit View Vineyard Malbec, Walla Walla Valley
Dark berry aromatics lead to juicy flavors of sweet salal berry, cola and a hint of slate. This robust and structured wine leads to a dusty finish with dense, layered tannins.
Winemaker Notes
A mild wet winter led to a cool wet spring. With bud break at a near normal pace, we headed into June with yet more rain. July and August
really heated up with temperatures over 100°F and smoky skies. September revealed ideal conditions for a beautiful uneventful harvest.
