- TASTING NOTE: "A juicy malbec with hints of baked plums, cherries and a fine twist of spices. A hint of geraniums, too. Medium-bodied on the palate with well-grained tannins and a juicy finish. Drink now." 91 Points - James Suckling
- ABOUT THE WINE: The grapes for our Malbec were handpicked, destemmed and crushed. Prior to fermentation, the must was cold soaked for three days. Fermentation occurred in upright, conical tanks for one week at 85F. Throughout fermentation, we used several pump-overs to extract colour and flavour. After primary fermentation, this wine underwent malolactic fermentation to create a round mouthfeel before six to eight months of aging in French 225 L barrels at a medium toast level.
