Seven Hills 2011 Malbec (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Country: US /
Variety: Malbec Washington
Winery: Seven Hills / Walla Walla Valley (WA)

Casey McClellan blended 15% Merlot into this vintage—the most ever—and has crafted a bright, sappy wine with vivid flavors of spiced apples and raspberries. There’s a distinct scent of cinnamon, perhaps from the use of Hungarian oak barrels, (30% new.) Thoroughly delicious and surprisingly deep in this lighter vintage.
