The 2013 Alexandria Nicole 'Mr. Popular' Malbec is a great effort that shows the potential of this varietal in Columbia Valley. Having a dense core the Malbec wine opens with aromatics of smoked meats, green bell pepper, white pepper and blackberry jam. This leads to dense flavors of blackberry preserves, coffee grounds, black cherry and black olive. Lithe and polished, the wine will cellar well into the next decade.(Best 2016-2025) - July, 2016 (OB)
