Inky purple, full bodied wine. The nose is heavy with dark fruit, cinnamon, and spice. The wine presents with big fruit flavors of blueberry and prunes on the palate that lingers, with some tobacco on the finish.

Great nose on this one. Tasted alongside some other Washington Malbecs, this was the second favorite of the bunch. Very complex and flavorful, with a good finish. Great balance but was a little on the flat side compared to the Black Cloud we had next to it. Would definitely like to get more of this one.

Nice deep purple color. Nose has some nice berry, black pepper, vanilla. On the palate, the flavors just pop. Good to drink now, but will get much better over time

Received my wine club shipment today and decided to try out the 09 Malbec. Very smooth and very good. I'll definitely be ordering more. We really loved the 08 and I think this has more potential.

Nice fruit and spice on the nose. What really stands out for this wine is the smooth balanced tannins and structure.

Excellent example of Columbia Valley Malbec. Herbaceous notes and nice balance. Did not wow me, but was a nice bottle of wine.
