2022 Crybaby Malbec

Dark as a backroom deal and twice as smooth, this bold Malbec saunters in like it owns the place. Velvety red, with the kind of confidence that makes even the Argentinians pause mid-toast. On the nose, it smolders — grilled meat, plum jam thick as a lie, and a whisper of fresh oregano, like it just stepped out of a Buenos Aires butcher shop with blood on its boots. 100% Malbec from Osoyoos and Similkameen Valley 26 Months in New and Neutral American oak
