A relative rarity in the Okanagan Valley, the Malbec grape produces a rich, peppery red with ripe tannins and classic varietal notes of dark red fruit and spice.
John Schreiner notes “This wine begins with a lovely aroma of plums and cherries, leading to spicy red fruit flavours including cherry and black currant. With decanting, the firm texture becomes rich and generous”
CanadaI was going to let the 2015 Malbec age a bit longer, but what the heck, 5 years is long enough, and it was as advertised - rich, smooth, complex, full bodied fruit in the characteristic Okanagan way, another luscious addition to my wine cellar.
CanadaWood, pepper, black cherries; fig; really great on the noise. Subtle and round tannins, good balance.
Very tasty. And the bottle is gorgeous. I wish I was a mermaid swimming in a bottle of wine...
