Malbec

2022 Applegate Valley Malbec

The Schmidt Family Vineyards Malbec from the 2022 vintage is a captivating expression of the Applegate Valley terroir. This full-bodied red wine showcases the varietal's deep, rich color and offers an inviting bouquet of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of chocolate and spice. With a medium to high acidity, it delivers a bright and refreshing profile that balances the lush fruit character beautifully. The tannins are notable yet smooth, creating a velvety mouthfeel that lingers on the palate. This wine is crafted in a dry style, making it a versatile choice for food pairings, especially with savory dishes like grilled meats and rich pasta sauces. Enjoy it on a cozy evening or during a festive gathering, where its generous fruit-forward nature will surely impress.

With its rugged landscape and cool Pacific climate, Oregon is one of the world's great modern Pinot Noir regions. The Willamette Valley produces an impressive array of styles across its six AVAs, from fragrantly fruity to lush and complex. This is thanks to a range of terroirs that are eerily similar to Burgundy's in France (Oregon even lies on the same latitude). In fact, major Burgundy producers have set up in Oregon to make wine, including Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. And it is not just Pinot Noir found in Oregon. Other benchmark grapes include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling; Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah thrive in the southern AVAs.
