title: Kontos 2008 LVLL Stone Tree Vineyard Malbec (Wahluke Slope)
description: 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.
variety: Malbec
designation: LVLL Stone Tree Vineyard
