Malbec Columbia Valley Wine Details

Description: Mysterious, new, mouth filling and sumptuous. These are just a few superlatives that describe the first Fidelitas Malbec from the fertile Columbia Valley. Rich deep black fruit flavors, with notes of smoke, cocoa and spices. Malbec – our new passion.

Varietal Definition
Malbec:
Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, this grape is among the "big six" for red wine grapes. Malbec is typically a medium to full-bodied red wine. Ripe fruit flavors of plums and blackberry give it a jammy characteristic. The tannins are typically a bit tight and the earthy, wood-like appeal makes for a fairly rustic wine. Malbec goes well with roast meats such as chicken or turkey. It should be served at 58F and can be aged for up to 5 years typically.
