Typically, it’s David Padgett behind both the wine and the labels at this Zillah, Wash., winery, but here Andrew Padgett is credited for producing this Port-style sipper from Malbec (92%) and Petit Verdot. There are aromas of dried cherry, raisin, coffee, vanilla, mint and fresh-cut cedar, but the fascinating flavors focus on coffee, chocolate, mint and cherry amid a structure that shows good length and not too much heat.
