Latah Creek Malbec 2020
Father/daughter winemaking team, Mike and Natalie, love their red wine repertoire, but they also love adding new wines into the mix. Such was the case with Malbec. This increasingly popular variety grows exceptionally well here in the environs of Washington State and produces a wonderful full-bodied red reminiscent of its French origin. The first two vintages, 2011 and 2012 were so well-loved that this varietal is a now a staple on their list. This 2020 Malbec comes from a picture perfect vineyard, near Wahluke Slope, but not quite on the slope. Mike and Natalie have used fruit from these vineyards since the mid-90’s, and are never disappointed with the fruit flavor. Because of this, very little input from the winemaker is needed – the wine almost makes itself.
