The 2015 Malbec Reserve is made up of 89% Malbec and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 28 months in 56% new French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives up notes of crushed black cherries, black raspberries and red plums with touches of pencil lead, violets, baking spices and cedar. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a firm frame of grainy tannins and a lively line lifting the perfumed fruit to a long finish. 445 cases produced, to be released in winter 2019.
