2023 Malbec
Known as “the black grape” for its dark color, our Malbec features a core of black cherry flavors with a cornucopia of diverse subtleties swirling around it in an ever-changing dance.
Just when you think you’ve got Malbec figured out, in walks this dark ruby-purple draught and upends everything. It’s cast off its usual cherry cloak and instead wears something so exotic as to be nearly indescribable. Purple and black fruits (is that… salal?) mingle in the nose with hints of citrus and red pepper. In the mouth, these are joined by baking spices and tropical sensations heretofore unseen in this varietal. The finish is smooth, but with the heat that implies ageability and will transform into texture over time.
Full bodied, medium-plus acid, medium tannin
