Named by a previous owner after the Malvern Hills in England, and Frenchified by the current owner, Seymour Pritchard. Clos Malverne benefits from the cool-climate of the Devon Valley to produce structured wines, like this still-young 2004. With juicy, blackberry flavors, and layers of toast and herbs, this is a finely balanced wine. Not imported. ——R.V.(11/1/2006)—— 92
