Valley View Winery Domaine Rogue Malbec 2021 Review
This Malbec is from Oregon, south of the famous Willamette Valley in the Applegate Valley closer to the border. Here you’ll find a plethora of varieties, from Grüner Veltliner to Cabernet Franc and, like this bottle, Malbec. Winemaker Mike Brunson gives us yet another unique expression of this grape. The nose is filled with bright floral aromas and the palate pops with brambly berry notes. The fruit is fleshy and the acidity is present, accentuating the floral note.
