This newly released Malbec impressed the West Coast wine buyers and sommeliers who met in the Columbia Gorge for the Great Northwest Invitational, and it went on to win winemaker Coco Umiker a fourth career Platinum for her work with the juicy Bordeaux grape. It’s a suave example out of the Yakima Valley, packed full of flavors and showy with cassis, Craisin, golden raspberry, violets and well-integrated tannins.
