2022 Malbec
Our 2022 Malbec is completely sourced from our organic-certified Konnowac Estate Vineyard located in the Rattlesnake Hills AVA, a nested AVA of the Yakima Valley.
Aromas of candied cherry and ripe plum, layered with hints of cocoa and vanilla. Bright acidity and firm tannins add structure and drive, carrying into a bold yet graceful finish — a vibrant expression of this classic varietal.

Vintage
The 2022 vintage started very late at Konnowac Vineyard due to an unseasonal April cold snap that delayed bud break for three weeks. Thankfully our high-altitude site keeps the cold air rolling downhill and spared us of any cold damage. Spring progressed without the typical heat accumulation as it was often cloudy and moist. At last, the heat came in full force in July and by August we were already above average accumulated heat units. Harvest was steady at Pomum with good acidity across the board and plenty of warm weather to finish within typical schedule.
The Wine
The must was fermented in small lots and the wine was aged using 225 liter French oak barrels for 18 months. It matured in bottle for an additional 15 months before release.
Vineyard:
Our Pomum Konnowac Estate Vineyard is an older, nearly forgotten vineyard planted 35 years ago in the western half of the Yakima Valley. It was planted in 1987 and since 2020 it has been USDA Certified Organic. Although we have been working quietly with Konnowac vineyard for many years, it is recently after hard work and fine tuning that we finally showcase it exclusively on all our Pomum Wines.
