2022 Malbec

Malbec has become a quiet cult favorite, and we have made some wonderful standalone Malbecs that normally go into our Cabernet Sauvignon, but we wanted to let our club members share some of the excitement. We made 3 Malbec lots in 2022, and we found that the structure of the Baker Vineyard from Atlas Peak blended beautifully with the ripe concentration of the Windy Flats, and the vigor of the Beau Terroir. Malbec has become increasingly successful in some parts of the world, and it is a cult favorite here in Napa. We only made a small quantity for our adventurous club buyers. The 2022 Malbec is deep, rich, and alluring, with expressive notes of blueberry, black plum, and crème de cassis. Plush and inviting on the palate, with blackberry, dark raspberry, and delicate floral notes, supported by warming notes of graham cracker and licorice. This multilayered wine interweaves fine-grained tannins and a velvety texture perfectly.
