DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The 2016 Malbec Limestone Block was sourced from a single vineyard in the Chacayes zone where the soils are rich in limestone. Co-fermented with some Cabernet Franc in concrete vats, it matured in used, neutral, well-seasoned oak barrels for nine months. It's not very varietal and is more about the soils, with a soft palate, round tannins and good acidity.
Initial chemical aromas suggest paint and raw oak. This Malbec from a forgettable vintage feels saucy, acidic and defined by tension. Stewy berry and plum flavors are savory and finish with flavors of tomato sauce and herbal plum.
