Seven Hills Malbec 06

Winery: Seven Hills

100 % Malbec, harevsted from Windrow, Minnick, and McClellan Estate Vineyards, three hillside sites in the appellation under ideal conditions. Deep, purple-black color. Assertive scent of passion fruit and blueberry, with floral and spice notes. Medium weight body, with moderate tannin. Berry finish, slightly drying.

Malbec has a history in Bordelais and Cahors wines stretching back centuries. Its aging characteristics when grown in the Walla Walla Valley are evolving at this point, but the wine shows qualities that would indicate at least three to four years of enjoyable cellar life. Aged primarily in fine Hungarian oaks. Our first release since the 2003 vintage, and of very limited availability.

Wine Spectator says: "Plump, generous and beautifully focused, with delicious currant, blueberry and cherry flavors bursting forth with every sip. Framed with extra-fine tannins, spreading extravagantly on the finish. Drink now through 2007. 700 cases made. (HS)"
