The Milbrandts sourced from their Northridge Vineyard (56%) and Clifton Bluff Vineyard for this inky and insistent Malbec under their consistently superb Estates tier. Baker’s chocolate, blueberry and dark mulberry aromas include mint, dried sage and Californian pepper. Inside are huge flavors of blackberry with cherry skins tannins, capped by mint, Earl Grey tea, chocolate and blueberry pie juice.
