2005 Malbec Premium Select
Malbec is a dark and richly flavored wine. It is a favorite varietal in Argentina for that reason. The 2005 is very fruity and smooth. Hints of spice and soft tannins make it compl ...moreex and wonderful to drink. This is a hearty wine and one of the best we've made. The growing season ended cool and the result is rich fruit flavors and great structure.

2003 Malbec, Diamond Ridge
Lake County
Grown atop the Diamond Ridge, the grapes for this Malbec were hand-selected with great care. These very fragile and thin-skinned grapes require a lot of sun and heat. The result is ...more a very big wine with intense flavors of plum, pepper and coffee. Would pair nicely with steak or other red meats.

2005 Malbec Napa Valley
Napa Valley
The 2005 Ladera Malbec is as bold as it is suave. With its inky dark color and rich aromatics, it is undeniably masculine yet approachable and youthful. The aromas are fruit forwar ...mored with hints of Bing cherry, peppered meats and smoky fig. The entry is hearty and weighty with soft wet tannins that round out the mid palate and carry through to the finish. The silky tannins also allow for drinking earlier than other Bordeaux varietals.

2003 Malbec
Visually stunning with incredibly deep purple and crimson, so dark it is remeniscent of the "Black wines of the Cahors". Soft, ripe fruit aromas of blackberry jam offset with delic ...moreate hints of rose petal and eucalyptus. A dark berry concentration luxuriates on the palate, with blackberry, cherry compote and boysenberry that are juicy and satisfying. Smooth and silky tannins support a long, deep and persistent finish that is simultaneously balanced and intense. Serve with a classic "Steak au Poivre" and take your senses to a whole other level of enjoyment.
