Sunset Bench Vineyard

Red Mountain Malbec

The Three Rivers Winery Sunset Bench Vineyard Malbec, hailing from the esteemed Red Mountain region, presents a captivating deep red hue that sets the stage for its enchanting personality. This medium-bodied wine exhibits an intriguing balance, showcasing a bright acidity that invigorates the palate while ensuring a harmonious experience. With pronounced fruit intensity, expect bold notes of ripe blackberries and plums to command attention, gracefully complemented by subtle undertones of cocoa and spice. The tannins are noteworthy yet well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's generous fruit character. This Malbec, crafted with care, remains decidedly dry, making it a versatile choice for pairing with a range of hearty dishes or simply enjoying on its own.

Washington

With 18 recognized AVAs, Washington is the second-largest wine-producing state in the United States. Most of these AVAs are located in the east, centered around the valleys of Walla Walla, the Columbia River and Yakima. The grape varieties that thrive here are numerous: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris all continue to make increasingly compelling wines. Washington wines thrive in dry, semi-arid conditions far from the Pacific Ocean and are protected from the Pacific Northwest rain shadow by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Washington owes its unique terroir to the historic Missoula Floods, which swept through the region 10,000 years ago, stripping away the earth and replacing it with sandy soils from modern-day Utah, Idaho and Montana.
