Winemaker Notes
Nose: Red fruits, particularly plums, strawberries and confitures, tying in very well with scents of coffee.
Mouth: Rich red and black fruit flavors with a round full-bodied mouth feel and juicy, soft tannins that give a very long and pleasant finish.

Solid, with a core of dark plum and blackberry fruit backed by well-integrated, vanilla-tinged toast. The finish is round and flattering. Drink now. 10,000 cases made.
Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
