Each year the Seattle Times publishes its cherished roster of what its tasting panel merits the best wines in the Northwest. Price aside, all wines vie for a coveted spot on the Top 50 list. This year, 2014, Waterbrook 2012 Malbec, found nationwide for $14 or less, made #16 on the list. Critic Andy Perdue writes:
“Waterbrook Winery 2012 malbec, Columbia Valley: Few Washington malbecs can compete with Argentina on both price and quality, but this offering from a longtime Walla Walla winery certainly does.”
Congratulations to winemaker John Freeman, who’s had a banner 2014 of 90+ scores and best buys in the wine press here in the Northwest and beyond! See the full top 50 list here:
