The 2008 Malbec is a glass-coating opaque purple with an enticing nose of cedar, smoke, black cherry, and blueberry. Sweetly-fruited, layered, but ultimately one-dimensional, it will offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2018. McKinley Springs produces a wide range of wines from their 2000 acre estate in the vast Horse Heaven Hills AVA.www.mckinleyspriings.com

The 2007 Malbec is a glass-coating opaque purple with an enticing nose of cedar, smoke, white pepper, mineral, incense, black cherry, and blueberry. Sweetly-fruited, layered, and rich on the palate, it conceals enough ripe tannin to support 3-4 years of additional cellaring. This pleasure-bent Malbec will offer prime drinking from 2013 to 2020 if not longer.

The best of the 2006 McKinley Springs reds, this overcomes a fairly heavy dose of vanilla-flavored oak and moves into mixed cherry, plum, mocha, coffee and spice. The barrel regimen is a bit much for the pretty fruit, but there is a good base for future improvement.——P.G.(9/1/2009)—— 88
