2013 Napa Valley Malbec
Sold Out, Sorry.
Winemakers Paul Scotto and Mitch Cosentino oversaw the hand-harvesting for our 2013 Malbec then chose stainless steel fermentation to preserve freshness. After fermentation was complete, the wine was transferred to a combination of new and older French oak for extended barrel aging. The color is a deep crimson with a welcome tone of brightness on the edge. Wild red berries and cranberry come forward on the nose coupled with notes of Asian spice and earth that leads to a bold palate impression filled with a panoply of red and black berries accented by earthy notes. A rich mouthfeel, structured tannins and youthful acidity round out the mid-palate while ushering in a layered finish showing sweet berry flavors with a touch of red plum and spice.
