2018 Horse Heaven Hills Malbec

Inky and opaque in the glass. Rich aromas of boysenberry jam and blackberry syrup coalesce with succulent purple florals underpinned with french vanilla and perfectly- integrated sexy, toasty, chocolatey oak. Ripe yet supple on entry with ripe blue and black fruit folded over minerally, mildly-chewy tannins that carry this wine to a surprisingly elegant and gorgeous finish that goes on and on. This medium-full-bodied Malbec (14.5% alc.) delivers excellent complexity, a suave structure, ripe fruit and perfectly-integrated French oak. Ladies and gentlemen, this is first-class, deftly-made wine.
