This Malbec is plush, dark, and beautifully expressive, opening with blackberry, dark cherry, and ripe plum wrapped in a soft layer of violet and warm spice. The palate is smooth and generous, showing notes of cocoa, black pepper, and a touch of sweet tobacco that add depth without overshadowing the fruit. High‑elevation freshness keeps the wine lively, balancing its richness with a clean, lifted finish. It’s a polished, quietly bold Malbec, ripe, comforting, and unmistakably Lake County.
