The excitement Malbec generates from winemaker Ray Costanzo of late is getting to the same levels as his beloved Vermentino and more recently his Brosé Rosé. This Malbec is a beauty and his excitement is understandable.
Slosh this around the glass - it opens and softens beautifully. Blackberries and blackberry pie swoop early before cocoa and an earthiness moves in. There is a gentle minerally push too. It evolves beautifully as dried thyme opens the door for a savoury edge that ticks along. Fine, soft and long, meat boards and meat cooked over the coals have a new friend. Super delish!
