Kontos 2008 LVLL Stone Tree Vineyard Malbec (Wahluke Slope)

Country: US / LVLL Stone Tree Vineyard
Variety: Malbec Washington
Winery: Kontos / Wahluke Slope

Pure Malbec from one of Washington’s best vineyards, this is power personified. Cassis and black cherry fruit is tightly wound around mineral-drenched tannins. There are telltale streaks of earth and stem, a dusting of ground coffee, and other nuances that show the varietal details often missing from domestic Malbec. A fine effort.
