Fidelitas Malbec 08

2008 Wine Advocate - 90 points - The 2008 Malbec (100%) was aged in 50% new French and American oak for 20 months. Spicy black cherries, violets, and a hint of chocolate lead to a layered, plush, tasty Malbec that will make the Argentines take notice. It can be approached now and will provide pleasure through 2020. - Jay Miller

Rich purple in color, this Columbia Valley Malbec offers aromas of blueberry, plum, tobacco and allspice. The flavors include marionberry, raspberry, cedar and dried thyme. Drink now or cellar through 2015.
