A bold yet thoughtful take on Malbec—structured, layered, and built with intention. This is not your typical fruit-forward expression, but something deeper, more nuanced, and quietly powerful.
Meta Description | A structured and cellar-worthy Columbia Valley Malbec from Brook & Bull, blending dark fruit, savory spice, and Old World-inspired complexity.
Taste | Deep and expressive with layers of blackberry, black plum, and dark cherry, intertwined with notes of leather, cracked pepper, and subtle violet florals. Full-bodied with firm tannins and a vibrant acid backbone, offering both richness and structure with a long, savory finish.
About the Winery/Winemaker | Brook & Bull is the personal label of Ashley Trout, a Walla Walla winemaker known for pushing beyond convention while staying rooted in intention and place. With extensive experience, including multiple harvests in Argentina, Ashley brings a global perspective to her wines—crafting expressions that are both thoughtful and distinctive.
Why We Love It | This is Malbec reimagined. It leans away from the typical “big fruit bomb” style and instead finds a beautiful middle ground between Argentina and Cahors—structured, savory, and age-worthy. It’s the kind of wine that rewards patience but is already showing incredible depth.
