Proprietor's Malbec

Proprietor's Reserve Malbec Wine Details
Price: $40.00 per bottle

Description: Maryhill's very first presentation of this varietal, is one of the most commonly planted vines in Argentina, and is producing lush, prolific fruit here in the Columbia Valley. Black in color and intense blueberry on the palate with highlights of cherry. From its pleasing start to beautiful finish, this limited wine is sure to be remembered long after our limited supply is gone (380 cases).

Varietal Definition
Malbec:
Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, this grape is among the "big six" for red wine grapes. Malbec is typically a medium to full-bodied red wine. Ripe fruit flavors of plums and blackberry give it a jammy characteristic. The tannins are typically a bit tight and the earthy, wood-like appeal makes for a fairly rustic wine. Malbec goes well with roast meats such as chicken or turkey. It should be served at 58F and can be aged for up to 5 years typically.
