MALBEC, a Washington State GRAPE on the move.

                                                                      Its Malbec Monday.

 

Washington Malbec is a GRAPE on the move. 

Last year in Washington, wineries crushed 1,800 tons of the red Bordeaux variety. 

Already, the mighty Malbec is the No. 5 red wine grape in Washington, behind Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. (It quickly sprinted past Sangiovese.) 

I recently sipped a remarkable Malbec at Tsillan Cellars Winery in Chelan, WA. 

Do you have a favorite WA. Malbec? 

Do tell. 

Inquiring winos want to know.
