It’s a dark wine, inky. The nose is full of blackberry and spice, and to a lesser degree, earth and smoke. It smells, and tastes, a bit like Bordeaux - which I would guess they’d be pretty happy about in Washington State. In the sip there is dark fruit and plenty of it, but a savory aspect joins in for a really balanced approach. The tannins are capable enough to match up with tri tip, but they don't irritate if you just want to sip a good Malbec. A really good Malbec.

On the nose, plummy chocolate-drizzled dark fruit with a hint of pie crust. Plums appear again on the palate, augmented by oaky, smoky spice and strong black tea. Inky, dense, linear.
