		Tasting Notes
			Our estate vineyards provide Malbec fruit of uncommon depth and complexity. Meticulous attention in the vineyard, picking at peak ripeness and gentle handling, combined with 18 months in French oak contribute to making this a wine of distinction. Sun drenched blackberries, cassis and hints of dried lavender meld with integrated oak, velvety tannins and earth to create a balanced wine. This wine will continue to improve for five to seven years. Pair with foods such as smoked wild boar with a verjus and cherry reduction sauce.
