This is limited release Malbec. 65% of the fruit was sourced from the Canoe Ridge Estate Vineyard while 22% of the fruit was sourced from the Cold Creek Vineyard, with the remainder Indian Wells vineyard fruit. This wine opens with aromas of chocolate, white pepper, smoked meats and blackberry. There are flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, prune and black olive. This is deep and delicious with lovely texture in this solid release. (Best 2015-2025) - December, 2015 (OB)
