Kiona Vineyards Estate Bottled Red Mountain Malbec 2021 Review
Kiona was the first to plant vines on Red Mountain in Washington State. The winery’s legacy can be seen and tasted through their extensive yet focused and quality-driven lineup of wines produced by winemaker Tyler Williams and his team. This Malbec shows the lighter side of the variety with savory spice and leather aromas on the nose. Some of the wine is aged in new French oak for 23 months, adding a slight whisper of toasty vanilla notes. The mouthfeel is so nice with good medium fruit and a lazy, lingering finish.
