2019 Malbec Reserve
Our Malbec clone originates from one of the original Bordeaux plantings. When Bordeaux is mentioned, many people think ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’, but much of Bordeaux was wiped out in the late 1800s by the Phylloxera aphid that caused wide-spread disease throughout the vineyards. Cabernet has only been around since the 19th century and Malbec was the primary grape grown in the region before the replanting.
95% malbec {best barrels)
3% cabernet sauv
2% petite sirah
Compared to the 2018 Malbec reserve, this wine is much more approachable now with a roundness in the mid palate and a lack of harsh tannins. Beautifully crafted, this wine will be another award winner and dare i say better than the 2018? Decant for an hour before serving and watch this wine evolve as it interacts with oxygen. Lock up a case before the ratings come out so you dont miss this vintage!
