    Hestia Cellars 2008 Malbec (Columbia Valley (WA))

    Tart and leafy, this pure Malbec shows good grip and concentration. Sour raspberry fruit flavors and sharp acids are complemented with barrel spice from aging in once-used French oak. This tastes like a good wine from young vines; it may improve for a couple of years, but it's best for near-term drinking.
