Abacela Winery Malbec 2022 Review
This wine is sourced from Abacela’s estate vineyards in southern Oregon’s Umpqua Valley. Here, three different mountain ranges converge, creating a unique terroir for viticulture. So while the state is most well-known for Pinot Noir, Malbec works surprisingly well in this area. The wine has a subtle nose with aromas of blackberries, vanilla, and dried herbs and a soft, even palate with a great depth of fruit.
