| Winemaker’s Notes: |
Malbec is a classic red Bordeaux blending variety that is gaining fame as a stand-alone varietal in Argentina, France's Loire Valley and California. The wine's plush, fruit aromas, introduce flavors of plum compote, blackberry and black cherry. Enjoy this rare and extremely delicious wine over the next 6-8 years with grilled steak, prime rib, lamb shanks and barbecue. |
