59. Barrister Winery 2012 Malbec, Walla Walla Valley, $28
Greg Lipsker and Michael White are stars of the Spokane wine scene – and have been since launching their operation in 2001. The two lawyers-turned-vintners are exploring Malbec now, with terrific success. This opens with aromas of bittersweet chocolate, black olive and ripe plum. On the palate, it shows off flavors of rich dark fruit backed by black pepper and mild vanilla.
