The Sparkman Preposterous Malbec 2014 is no shrinking violet. Bold and bursting with rich fruit flavor, this is a Washington Malbec that will leave an impression (and that impression is that you should take another sip). Enjoy this red wine with a meal that will stand up to its robust flavors. Full-bodied and fruity, this wine will pair nicely with lean cuts of meat, as well as sweet-and-smoky barbecued lamb, beef, or pork. It also pairs well with a fiery sunset on a deck or patio, if that can be arranged.
