2021 Pine Ridge Vineyards Malbec

Malbec is one of the five great Bordeaux varieties commonly blended into Left and Right Bank wines, and has become the darling of Argentina. We have Malbec planted in four of our estate vineyards and have historically blended it into our Cabernet Sauvignons. A rare offering, we are pleased to release our 2021 Malbec.

Sometimes referred to as “grapey” this wine evokes memories of blueberry açaí jam, orange blossom water and lavender candy. The big and bold midpalate is bolstered by the juiciness of a mixed berry tart and has notes of cedar and grilled meat layered in between the waves of boisterous fruit. Undulating onto the finish, cinnamon and cocoa notes intermingle with those of strawberry pie, raspberry compote and mocha truffle. Pan seared duck breast, on a bed of risotto, finished with a Port and blueberry reduction would be a perfect start to a long and enjoyable evening.
