Washington Malbec can seem sedate compared to its international cousins, but that’s not the case in this jazzy bottling. Bold notes recalling black and blue berry fruit are supported by the expected savory undertones, and a little citrus leaf suggestion comes forward in the finish to keep things nice and lively. Grill the beef and drink up! A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
