MALBEC 2022

March 2026 Red Wine of the Month

Our Red Wine of the Month is the 2022 Malbec, a classic Bordeaux varietal that found its true spotlight in Argentina and continues to flourish in Chile and the United States. Ours is crafted from grapes grown in Washington’s Columbia Valley, where warm days and cool nights coax out depth, balance, and beautifully structured character. The result is a Malbec that is both bold and refined, with layers that unfold gracefully in every glass.

Rich and complex with dark fruit at its core, this vintage offers velvety texture and a lingering finish that feels both powerful and polished. It pairs effortlessly with robust, nutty, and salty cheeses, as well as grilled meats or veggie kabobs fresh off the flame.
