Dossier 2022 Halo Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Cimento 2022 Cimentare Malbec

Drink: 2045 | 98 points | No. 4

Although it comes from Milton-Freewater, Oregon, rather than Washington, this Malbec is close enough to the Tri-Cities to merit a mention. Alberty notes aromas of blueberry jam on baked bread, accented by coriander and violets. Only 831 bottles were produced, and purchases are limited to people who can log in through the wine’s online listing.
