Malbec Napa Valley 2022
The 2022 Malbec Napa Valley is a testament to the vibrant expression of this classic Bordeaux varietal in Napa’s warm climate. Crafted from grapes sourced primarily from Yountville and Atlas Peak, this Malbec offers forward aromas of blueberry, dark cherry, and boysenberry, accented by notes of coffee, black pepper, and violets. The palate reveals medium full-bodied flavors of blue plum and cassis, combined with hints of menthol, Earl Grey tea, and bittersweet chocolate, creating a wine that is both layered and balanced. Aged for 18 months in French oak, 30% of which were new barrels, this limited-production wine captures the deep, rich fruit character of Malbec, perfect for those seeking a unique Napa Valley experience.
