"Fire up that pizza oven because the Newsprint Malbec is back! This vintage of our perfect pizza wine is rich, full, and delicious. Swirl this beautifully hued wine and you’ll be greeted by aromas of ripe currant and plum jam. Take a sip and reveal layers of sweet pipe tobacco mixed with juicy huckleberry, ending with a smooth and concentrated finish. Sourced from the always-amazing StoneTree Vineyard in the Wahluke Slope this vintage was aged 18 months on once-used French oak before bottling. This wine is absolutely delicious!"
