ESTATE MALBEC
gourmet pairings
The rounded red fruit and
color seen in the complexity
of our Malbec make it a
wonderful pairing with your
favorite red meat dish, like
grilled mushroom burgers,
ribeye steaks, and pot roast.
tasting notes
The Malbec is deep and rich in color with a wonderful round
nose of mint, black currant, and vanilla aromas. The silky-smooth
elegance brings an enjoyable consistency to the wine. It's full-
bodied and full of flavors including boysenberry syrup, overripe
cherries, and roasted chestnuts.
winemaker's insight
With the heat units of our AVA regularly reaching over 3,000
growing degree days, it results in a bold expression of ripe fruit.
The wines made from this varietal are some of our most awarded.
All of the fermentation takes place in one-ton stainless-steel bins
where it is then pressed off into tanks before being sent off to
barrel.
