Bench 1775 Malbec 2014

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBench 1775 released two malbecs this vintage, one from Similkameen, and this one, sourced from "Okanagan Valley". Both are exclusive for their Wine Club. Cedar, pencil shavings, potent blueberry, stemmy black currant ride a juicy swell to a clipped, brisk finish. Tannins are powdery and stick out from the soft fruit. Simple; this vintage would benefit from pairing with a meat stew to round out the ragged edges.Tasted: 26 January 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
