Nose

Cola and graphite aromas mix with fresh blackberry and blueberry on the nose.

Palate

The palate is well-structured with plum skin-like acidity while delivering satisfying dark chocolate, black olive and black cherry flavors.

Growing Conditions

For this single vineyard Malbec, we sourced grapes from the award winning Bon Niche Vineyard, located in the Estrella District of the Paso Robles AVA. Bon Niche consistently produces top quality fruit but the 2013 harvest was exceptional.

Aging

The wine was aged for 20 months in both new French oak and neutral American barrels.
