For the second time in 4 years, the Whidbey Island son/mom winemaking crew of Jake and Karen Krug pulled down a Platinum for his or her Malbec made with grapes they trucked by way of ferry from Crawford Vineyard close to Prosser — their breadbasket for many of their work with crimson Bordeaux varieties. Alluring notes of cranberry sauce, orange grove blossoms and freshly brewed espresso are properly structured with a touch of eucalyptus, giving it a contact of the Old World and lending it deliciously to lamb, ham or a steak. Qualifying award: Great Northwest Wine Magazine comparative tasting (Outstanding!)
