Winemaker Notes This wine is aromatic, with notes of currant, dark fruits, earth, and vanilla. Rich and balanced with a tremendous mid palette. It has bright acid, is full bodied, and fruit forward with soft tannins that will continue to evolve. - Erin Faulkner, Defiance Critic Notes There's a meaty, unctuous angle to the nose of this bottling, where oak-smoked berry aromas meet with pencil shavings. Chiseled tannins frame the sip,which is packed with cassis and milk chocolate leading into a grippy finish. -Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast the 2019 Malbec is dark and understated in the glass, with a delicate mix of dried flowers and red currant. This is soft in texture and quite round in feel. Polished red and black fruits flow across a core of mineral-tinged acidity.The 2019 finishes grippy with a peppery-floral air and exotic spice hints. -Eric Guido, Vinous
