Tasting Notes
Our 2022 Malbec-Petit Verdot opens with a lovely bouquet of leather, blueberry, cedar, tobacco, violet, and sage. The palate entry is soft initially, developing layers of intricacy with hazelnut, vanilla, and mocha. Enjoy now or cellar for the next 10+ years.

The 2022 growing season continued the trend of low rainfall and bursts of erratic weather. Despite the challenges, the wines from this vintage are well-balanced with great structure.
