2018 Estate Malbec

The 2018 growing season was started quickly in the Santa Clara Valley but then cooled down allowing for a long hang time on the vine. Blackberry jam and leather lead off the aromas followed by sweet tobacco and cherries. Big juicy tannins in the mouth combined with good acidity, anise and cranberry flavors make this a perfect BBQ wine.
