2023 Estate Malbec

This impressive Malbec was grown in a new vineyard on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy and is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm this vineyard to maximize quality. The 2023 vintage was late due to unseasonable low temperatures with very few heat spikes. However, this gave the grapes extended hang time to develop great flavors. 

Ripe boysenberry, baking spices, and toasty oak lead off the aromas followed by a rich jammy fruit body with velvety tannins in the mouth.  This combined with good acidity, sweet tobacco and blackberry flavors make a wine to be enjoyed for years to come. Pair with a nice rack of lamb chops. 

Verde Estate Vineyard

This amazing vineyard was planted in 2010 and is located at the foothills of the southern Diablo Range. It produces grapes of incomparable depth and flavor. The grapes were hand-picked at the peak of flavor and crushed within hours of harvest to ensure the flavor was maintained.
