Opaque Paso Robles Malbec Red Wine 750 ml

Details

Opaque Malbec was grown in our Maddalena Vineyard in the prestigious El Pomar AVA of Paso Robles. El Pomar is situated in the south-central region of Paso Robles, where warm daytime temperatures and cool afternoon breezes flowing through the Templeton Gap create a fantastic climate for red varietals. At Maddalena, steep hillsides of Linne-Calodo calcareous soils derived from ancient seabeds force the vines to struggle to absorb nutrients, creating concentrated grapes and wines with a unique mineral character. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in 70% new French oak barrels, this is a classic Malbec with deep purple/red color and lovely aromatics of violets and ripe blueberries. In the mouth, concentrated blueberry and dark plum flavors are joined by a fresh streak of red fruit along with accents of vanilla, spice and traces of minerality. With nice acidity and great texture, this is a supremely well-balanced wine with a soft, round midpalate, silky tannins and a long persistent finish. 14.9% alcohol by volume.
