Lot 428
2021 Sonoma County Malbec
Description
$50/bottle under the original label
Lot 428 is a small lot of barrels that was destined for a $600/case Sonoma County tasting room-only Meritage program - a price point they consider "value" priced, but when the source winery shifted gears, we got the call and now we’re able to offer it to this list for a true value price.
Immediate in the glass with a strong sense of place; black currant, red fruits, new leather, black licorice, and chocolate are accented by cigar box on the nose. Dry on entry with medium acidity and firm grippy tannins further accentuating red-to-black fruit with further leather and chocolate. The finish is medium length with uplifted spice and resonant crushed florals. This is steak Malbec folks.
