Production notes
2017 began with a cold, snowy winter with seasonal budbreak occurring in the last week of April. The long, cool, and wet spring temperatures were followed by a consistently hot summer with no precipitation. This allowed for balanced ripening to take place, allowing the fruit to reach full phenolic and flavour ripeness while retaining a balanced, fresh acidity.
Tasting notes
This expressive vintage of Malbec opens with aromas of lavender and lilies then develops into cherry clafouti and black plums. The firm palate displays well-integrated tannins behind a ripe mix of both red and black fruits and a spicy oak finish. This elegant wine delivers both structure and suppleness, making this a great wine to drink over the next several years
