2016 - Malbec

Vintage Notes The near-perfect 2016 growing season started early, saw ideal weather conditions throughout and wrapped up as the valley's first significant fall rainstorm arrived on October 14. Thanks to a relatively steady and mild July and August and then a series of warm days at the end of the growing season, vineyards were able to progress to perfect ripeness. Tasting Notes Dried boysenberries, crushed blueberries and essence of vanilla bean provide a pronounced bouquet of aromas. This full-bodied wine has firm acidity, round tannin, and flavors of fresh blueberry scone, cocoa and hints of espresso on the finish.
