Maryhill 2011 Malbec (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Malbec Washington
Winery: Maryhill / Columbia Valley (WA)

Sourced entirely from the Milbrandt vineyards, this shows little in the way of either varietal character or ripeness. There are indications that some of the fruit was raisined, while some was green. A lot of tobacco, vanilla and oak flavors cannot mask the thin finish or herbal tannins.
