2013 hope & grace Malbec, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley

Malbec was brought to the new world, ripened in a warmer sun, it exudes the rich colors and flavors of a variety unbound.  This wine is a testament to the optimistic potential of a new pursuit.

We are pleased to release the tenth vintage of a limited production Napa Valley Malbec! This single vineyard, single varietal Malbec is the culmination of years of passion in our quest to offer an expressive, gloriously layered and complex wine. This delicious and rare wine is part of our "Food & Wine Adventurers Series".

Winemaker Notes:   Intense aromas of black currant, cherries, rose petals and white pepper. Juicy ripe cherry fruit and currant floods the entire palate ...Concentrated and full bodied and satisfying with a rich velvety finish.
