2017 Malbec Alder Springs Vineyard

Fans of bold, robust Cabernet Sauvignon will delight in our full-bodied Malbec, whose immense concentration and tannic structure surpass many of its high-powered peers. As Argentine Malbec continues to enjoy global favor, corresponding vineyard plantings in California remain modest. This is due in part to Malbec’s temperamental nature. In order for it to flourish, well-drained soil and a defined temperature range are critical. Alder Springs Vineyard delivers both its elevation and rocky volcanic soil are superbly suited to Malbec’s exacting needs. The resulting wine boasts the bold, muscular profile of its South American counterpart, establishing our Malbec as the biggest and most masculine of all Pangloss wines.
