2009 Malbec - Verhey Vineyard : Yakima Valley

This gem of a vineyard is devoted to producing exceptional Malbec in the Yakima Valley. Located in Union Gap with southwest facing slopes, it’s still a late October harvest location that yields intense color and flavors. Concentrated dark berries abound with herbal notes of eucalyptus and rosemary making this a wonderful food wine. We think it’s made for a savory lamb shank or venison…or even Carol’s pot roast.

Bottled on 7/16/11; Only 25 cases were produced; pH 3.58, TA 6.53 g/L.
