Reustle Prayer Rock Vineyards, Umpqua Valley (Oregon) Malbec 2018

Feb 3, 2021

By Rich Cook

  I hereby dub this wine “The Chocolate Monster” for its bold cocoa powder nose.  Of course, that’s just the beginning, with rich black cherry fruit, soft fall spice and a supple tannic structure that knits it all together.  Reustle Prayer Rock is becoming a polished gem in Oregon.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
