Waterbrook 2010 Reserve Malbec (Columbia Valley (WA))

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

Though not labeled as such, this is single vineyard Malbec all coming from Canyon Ranch Vineyard with varietal notes of plum and black pepper. Aged in one-quarter new American and French oak, barrel spices play off the elegant fruit flavors that largely paint around the edges.
