The first thing you will notice is the deep purple color of this beauty pouring into your glass. Aromas of camp fire and black cherry dominate the nose and becomes more prominent the longer this wine is decanted. This full body wine has a long lingering finish with notes of ripe cherry with a hint of smoke. This wine is really coming to age and I would advise drinking now through 2027.

I may be incredibly biased towards malbecs and this small Sonoma winery, but for good reason! At just a glance, the appearance of this wine will catch your eye with its clear but thick and inky liquid, like a dark chocolate liqeur or coffee roast. Surprisingly, the legs are thin and fast, and while aerating, I noticed scents of ripe berries, bright floral tones and leather.

On the palate, full-bodied flavors of leather, oak, coffee and vanilla blend together with a mild smokey undertone. I noted a pleasant and mildly warm feeling in my throat while drinking this wine with a slow and enjoyable lingering finish.

I would recommend this wine, and most from this winery, again and again.
