Six of Ron Bunnell’s Platinum winners are vineyard-designated wines from Art den Hoed’s planting near Mabton, Wash., and this time he used that site to record the highest-rated Malbec in the Platinum. It’s a wine filled with blue and black fruit that is joined by baking spices, moist earth, crushed brick and a long trail of caramel. Qualifying award: Seattle Wine Awards (double gold)
