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.

    The 2022 Malbec is chock-full of lush fruit characters. Aromas and flavors of blueberry, plum, and boysenberry are accented by white pepper and cedar notes. This soft and juicy wine pairs beautifully with red bell peppers stuffed with spiced beef or grilled lamb and vegetable skewers with feta cheese. This is an excellent crowd-pleasing wine.
