Novelty Hill 2022 Stillwater Creek Vineyard Malbec
A ripe, stylish wine offering fresh strawberries, wild blackberries, dark plum and spicy undertones. The flavors gain focus on the palate, then linger across a richly textured, refined finish.
Varietal bottlings of Columbia Valley Malbec continue to gain a following, and Novelty Hill’s estate vineyard, Stillwater Creek on the Royal Slope of the Frenchman Hills, is leading the way. Through careful vineyard management and innovative clonal selection, this steep, south-facing vineyard has earned a reputation for high quality grapes, including Malbec.
