Description

WINEMAKER NOTES Malbec is less tannic than Cabernet, but more so than Merlot, giving it a powerful structure but smooth mouthfeel. Having produced this varietal for quite a few years now, weve perfected our cultivation and winemaking methods, so you get a wine of amazing character and purity. Malbec exudes dark, rich fruit flavors and a unique mineral note that is quite distinct. 2012 was an excellent vintage across California because of steady, mild temperatures that persisted throughout summer. Because we experienced such ideal weather conditions, our fruit was able to develop deep concentration and excellent texture and balance.TASTING PROFILE Appearance Dark garnet Aromas Cherries, boysenberries, anise Flavors Plums, cassis, dark chocolate, mineral notes – Francis Ford Coppola
