Palate
This is a gorgeous vintage, showing exceptional fruit purity with complex layers of blueberry and blackberry, a touch of oak spice and firm but well-integrated tannins. Decant and enjoy!
Growing Conditions
Our Malbec grapes are grown at our 27-acre Carsi Vineyard estate in Yountville. Carsi is so named for the Italian village Vittorio Sattui emigrated from. Nestled in the hills, about an hour's drive north of Genoa and a two hour drive south of Milan, Carsi is a small and quaint little village with beautiful views of the Appenines.
Food Pairing
The light spice in this wine pairs nicely with smokey cured beef, fajitas, and exotic dishes like lamb tajine.
