Tasting Notes
The 2022 Malbec opens with mouthwatering aromas of berry cobbler and pomegranate. On the palate it is has delicate tannin, juicy mouthfeel, and flavors of dark blackberry jam, red plum, and ribbons of cranberry fruit. This is the perfect wine for Thanksgiving dinner - beautiful, and approachable with moderate acidity.

The grapes for this wine come from a vineyard on our estate in Santa Ynez Valley. Situated at 1,000-foot elevation, this hillside vineyard is comprised of rocky, sandy, alluvial soil on the edge of a plateau, ideal soil for growing our Malbec because of its permeable qualities. During the growing season, the fog sits right on top of our vineyards, creating desirable, cool foggy morning weather, with diurnal temperature swings of 50 degrees.
