Malbec is native to France but made famous by Argentina, where it produces fruit-forward luscious wines. In our California climate is also produces grapes with intense fruit flavors - primarily blueberry and blackberry - but also distinct notes of violets and mocha. The last month or so of the 2019 vintage was a little cooler than previous years, allowing the grapes to reach fill maturity slowly while retaining gresh fruit & acidity. After hand-picking the grapes, we destemmed and partially crushed the berries, leavcing some berries whole. This resulted in partial carbonic maceration (an internal metabolic fermentation which produces candied fruit flavors). We then fermented this wine on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a cool temperature of 65F for 3 weeks, including a brief cold soak and extended maceration. These techniques maximized the fruit and floral notes of the grape. The wine was then aged on 30% new French and American oak and cherry wood.
