Malbec 2019 Limited Quantity! Six Bot­tles $150 Shipped ($130 Club)

Mal­bec is one of the six red vari­eties of Bor­deaux wines, the most plant­ed grape in Argenti­na, and wide­ly used in Cahors, France for blend­ing. Our Mal­bec is grown in our Hog Canyon and Stones Throw Estate Vine­yards, with­in the Estrel­la Dis­trict sub-AVA, where it does excep­tion­al­ly well! We get col­or depth, a rich­ness in the mid-palate, and a ton of fruit aro­mas and fla­vors. Enjoy it now but the wine will age superbly for five to ten years. Mal­bec has its all- fruit fla­vors, herbal aro­mas, rich­ness in the palate, and tan­nin struc­ture on the fin­ish. Care was tak­en dur­ing the fer­men­ta­tion to not over extract the Mal­bec. The wine was pumped over often to extract col­or with­out extract­ing too much of the bit­ter tan­nins. The Mal­bec was aged 12 months in French and Amer­i­can oak to add a lay­er of bak­ing spice and mocha soft­ness to the fin­ish and frame the red berry fruit flavors.
