2021 will go down as an unusual growing season that supplied small, but exquisite berries and intense wines. This Malbec is no exception. The relatively cool ripening preserved this wine’s subtle perfumed nose of blueberry, red plum, graphite, and sage brush while the palate caresses with blackberry, dark chocolate, and black tea flavors. It is soft and lushly textured but has the acid-tannin balance and density to improve in the near term. Enjoy 2024-2029 with Dijon-thyme-Fresno chili glazed bone-in pork chops.
