Our inaugural single-variety Malbec from the Brave & Maiden Estate marks a bold new chapter in our winemaking journey. Inspired by a vision shared with Paul Hobbs, this planting has fascinated us from the very beginning—and now, in the glass, its promise comes fully to life.  The color is striking: a vivid fuchsia core edged with deep hues. On the nose, lifted aromatics evoke late summer in the Pacific Northwest, picking wild blackberries off the vine. Notes of dried lavender, toasted sugarcane, and ripe mulberry unfold with nuance and persistence.  The palate opens with a rush of juicy brightness, giving way to luxurious, chalk-dusted tannins that build gracefully. Toward the finish, those tannins evolve—wider, crunchier, and more tactile—leading to a drying, resonant close that lingers with quiet confidence.
