Malbec

Yountville Ranch Vineyard

Yountville, Napa Valley

$57.60 CLUB

1 of 11 Barrels

This lush and jammy Malbec opens with aromas of raspberry and blackberry. A soft entry with rich notes of boysenberry is kissed by sweet fruit tones that meld with dense, chewy youthful tannins on a luxurious back palate. A hint of brightness on the finish is a testament to this wine’s age-ability.
