The wine world has justifiably fallen in love with Malbec, a grape so delicious that it skyrocketed Argentina’s entire wine industry to international fame. As much as we love those wines, we’ve never believed that Argentina should have a monopoly on this fantastic variety (it did originate in France, after all). Winemaker Gary Seidler searched for years before discovering small quantities of world-class Malbec growing right nearby in Columbia Valley. Discover a pure expression of the renowned Columbia Valley. A harmonious 100% Malbec blend of select vineyards.

Tasting Notes: Dark purple in color, this Malbec has aromas of dark blackberry fruit and a subtle layer of creamy vanilla from the oak. Structured tannins combine with flavors of blackberry, vanilla and spice on the palate for a balanced, food friendly wine.

Pairings: It’s perfect on its own -especially with a very slight chill, which enhances the bright berry flavors- or paired up with grilled/barbecued/roasted mushrooms, sausage, game or red meats (beef, lamb, venison), cured meats, hard cheese, black pepper.
