Martin-Scott Winery 2011 Shaw Vineyard Malbec, Red Mountain, $28
Wenatchee Valley grower/winemaker Mike Scott goes outside of his estate program for a superb example of Malbec from acclaimed Red Mountain. This provides aromas and flavors of blackberry, cranberry and even hints of floral notes, all backed with spice and beautiful balance through the finish. It’s a wine that earned a gold medal at the North Central Washington Wine Awards.

Production: 75 cases

I love Malbecs and have been looking for a list for a list of NW candidates for our wine club tasting. I wish there was a way to print your fantastic articles. If there is and I just overlooked it, please let me know.
