Lake Chelan is one of the few regions in Washington State that can take a whack at growing Pinot Noir. For this bottling, the winemakers elected to blend in 5% Malbec—a small percentage, but one that seems to have taken over the flavor. Not a trace of Pinot Noir character remains, just a strong Bourbon-barrel flavor and a bit of alcoholic heat.
