Tasting Notes
The 2023 Alexander Valley Malbec offers an inviting aromatic profile of rich blueberry pie and warm vanilla. The palate is instantly juicy, delivering a medley of dark fruit flavors—specifically blueberry, boysenberry, and blackberry—layered with subtle spice notes. This full-bodied wine maintains a soft, plush texture throughout, culminating in a refined finish with a distinct hint of graphite. The vintage highlights the valley's ability to produce approachable yet structured Malbec, balancing fruit-forward intensity with a smooth mouthfeel.
