Description
Just like we humans, vines build character from struggle. High atop Mt. Veeder, the vines for this Malbec must dig deep and, as a result, they produce concentrated aromas and flavors. A gorgeous opening of roses and rhubarb leads to huckleberry, raspberry and hints of coffee on the palate. A second glass is nearly impossible to resist.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
The 2014 Malbec may well turn out to be one of the best Malbecs California has made to date. They have not hit the high points of the finest Malbecs coming from top wineries in Argentina, but wines like this will certainly give notice. A blend of 96% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 53% new French oak, the wine has a dense purple color and a big nose of chocolate, blackberry, espresso bean and spice. It has plenty of intensity, full body, silky tannin and adequate acidity. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.
