New vintage, still a great take on Malbec. Strawberry flavor, lighter style, rounded mouthfeel, spearmint on finish with strawberry and blackberry

Jan 29th, 2023Dense purple red color, highly extracted pigment. Raspberry, blackberry aromas, flavors, black pepper and seed tannin finish. Great length of fruit, lovely style of Malbec, whole cluster, native yeast. Fun stuff

Seemed kinda cheeky for a Washington producer to call their Malbec Cot. Until you taste it & it is 100% true to the style bearing the name from the Loire. Fresh raspberry & cracked pepper with chalky tannins. Absolutely beautiful wine.

Great to revisit this one from my first harvest. Awesome that Michael decided to label this Malbec under its Loire name of Cot. Fresh, lean and Loire-like as intended, but distinctly Washington.

Lots of strawberry, red fruit notes. Not similar to any Washington malbecs I've had.

Loire-style Malbec from WA state? Yes! Gorgeous and well-structured, we get berries and white pepper on this. Medium finish. Soft nose hinting at more of the same. Clean. Velvety. Fantastic with food. Gives us hope for WA wine. More of this, please.

Jul 2nd, 2018Too juicy. Bought at a specialty wine shop in Seattle. Paid too much for Concord grapes.

A Washington wine that any AFWE drinker could enjoy. A Malbec reminiscent of the Loire. Floral aromatics, with spiced plum on the palate.
