(Saviah Cellars Malbec Walla Walla Valley) Pleasing varietal aromas of spiced plums and pepper jump out on the nose. Palate shows a lot of fruit and is beautifully balanced. A bit tart on the finish but should even out with some additional age. Seems to show a bit less oak influence than recent vintages. 100% Malbec. Watermill Estate and McClellan Estate vineyards. Aged in French oak (40% new). 14.1% alcohol. 243 cases produced.
