Proving once again that malbec is a bold, big red. Cherry pit, leatherand currants, orange rind flow to desert florals- lavender, musk rose and sage. Big tannins meet solid structural skeleton with a nose that jumps out at you to a full mid-palate to a long finish.
2012 will go down as the classic WA vintage. Extended lack of rainfall when we needed it led to easy pick dates, welcome wind helped tannin structure and average heat units helped move things along so phenolics could echo sugars. Balance, balance, balance. Hand picked and hand sorted, we used our favorite D254 yeast as always, neutral French Vicard oak, punchdowns instead of pumpovers, and basket pressed.
Steak, empanadas, rich meat sauce on homemade pasta.
