Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USADry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USAI really like the few Napa Valley Malbec I’ve tasted. This Sonoma Malbec is of high quality as well.
Aromas of crushed blackberry, plum, cedar, violet, black pepper, and hint of smoke meat. The palate is dense yet structured, with firm, grainy tannins and a solid acidic spine, finishing long with a distinct rocky minerality.
