2011 Yakima Valley Malbec

The Isenhower A Bloc 2011 is a captivating red Malbec from the renowned Yakima Valley, a region celebrated for its exceptional winemaking potential. This wine showcases a full-bodied character, perfectly balanced by its high acidity, which lends a refreshing brightness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, with rich notes of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, accompanied by subtle undertones of chocolate and spice that enhance its complexity. Tannins are notably firm, providing structure and depth, making this Malbec a delightful companion for hearty dishes. Its dryness further accentuates the wine's exquisite fruit profile and complexity, inviting enthusiasts to revel in its sophistication.

Yakima Valley

Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.
