Palate

The 2015 Napa Valley Malbec is vibrant and lively with dark blackberry, blueberry and black cherry fruit alongside coffee bean and espresso notes. The mouthfeel is silky smooth with raspberry, dark chocolate, cocoa and hints of musky floral violet, cinnamon, cedar and clove, followed by black pepper spice on the finish. The depth and complexity of the wine blends together gracefully on the palate with fine well-integrated tannins. This limited bottling drinks as powerfully rich as it smells, but the voluptuous fruit flavors remain incredibly fresh and balanced throughout and are framed well by the refreshing acidity.
