BG had, as of yesterday at ~4:00, about 10 cases of their '06 Malbec at their tasting room in Richland. Some leftover from an event or something, and they had it on sale 25% off. We bought and enjoyed some yesterday. Thanks for the recomendation. They also had their '07, which we tasted. Also a nice wine. Anybody looking for the '06 call Richland or hurry by. Kori, Update!

I'd definitely give their next release a shot, though. I've found Barnard Griffin wines to be fairly consistent from vintage to vintage. Cheers! Chris,

Maybe I'll try to talk them our of some at their tasting room or wait for the next release. We don't belong to their club (yet), but might join because we enjoy most everything we've tried there.

I'll have to add it to the list to check out in the future. I'd love to hear what you think of the Barnard Griffin when you try it. Cheers! Chris,

I've tried and enjoyed 5 of the 6 that didn't make your cut, but haven't yet tried any of your top 6. Now I have something to look forward to Barnard Griffin will be my first stop. I'll second the Fidelitas recommendation and add Upland Estates. Interesting list! I’ve tried and enjoyed 5 of the 6 that didn’t make your cut, but haven’t yet tried any of your top 6.

I do enjoy some Argentine Malbec but the more choices, the better. I'm especially excited that so many Washington winemakers are starting to produce Malbec. Cheers! Mark,

I have not tried the Walla Walla Vintners Pepper Bridge Vineyard Malbec that you mentioned. I'll have to check it out in the future. Wmchurchwinery, Thanks! I don't believe that I had the pleasure of trying your 2006 Malbec. I do know how wines can vary from vintage to vintage. We'll look forward to trying your 2008 when it comes out. Cheers! mrzitro,
