Weisinger Family Winery 2012 Malbec, Rogue Valley, $28
By Great Northwest Wine on February 25, 2016
Second-generation vigneron Eric Weisinger made wine throughout the New World before returning home and taking the reins on the winery his father founded in Ashland in 1979. He relies on Gold Vineyard for this red Bordeaux variety, and it produces remarkable aromas of cracked black pepper, dusty blueberry, Bing cherry and allspice. There’s nice elegance to the structure behind the flavors of plum and cherry as rounded tannins and acidity frame the fruit and transition to a finish of blueberry/pomegranate juice and spice. The Weisingers pair this Malbec with Chicken Drumsticks and Asian Barbecue Sauce.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 124 cases
Alcohol: 13.9%
