Kiona Vineyards Estate Bottled Red Mountain Malbec 2022 Review
Washington State Malbec should be on every enthusiast's radar. This impressive expression from the Red Mountain AVA opens with aromas of blackberry jam, soil, and autumn leaves. The palate is soft and juicy with balanced natural acidity and a savory finish. It’s a wine that lingers on the palate and in the mind.
