description: A single-vineyard, single-varietal wine, the Crawford Vineyard Malbec showcases the pleasure and power of the grape as it is being grown in Washington. Structurally it has the grip and precision of a Cabernet, with a pretty, lightly herbal side that runs more to green tea than to Cabernet's black olive. The fruit is tart and spicy, suggesting rhubarb, wild strawberry and cranberry, but as the wine opens up it puts on flesh and more layers.
