2021 Reserve St. Helena Malbec

A dark ruby gem, the 2021 Reserve Malbec offers a potpourri of raspberry, hibiscus, and blueberry scents, imbued with trace tobacco smoke from its time in barrel. Black plum, mulberry, and violet flavor notes mingle on the palate, which is highly structured with well- integrated new oak and fine-grained tannins that draw through to a bright finish. Enjoy this wine’s taut fruit profile now with choice meat cuts, hearty stews, and earthy mushroom dishes, or cellar a couple years for a depth that will come with age.
