2021 Destin Estate Malbec

Destin Vineyard, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley

Uncork the 2021 Destin Estate Malbec to discover a sensory masterpiece from the Oak Knoll District, a Napa Valley AVA with a climate and terroir that impeccably suit Malbec vines. The wine greets the eye with a regal, deep purple robe that promises a royal tasting experience, while its slow-moving legs hint at a rich and full-textured body. Bringing the glass to the nose, a symphony of aromatics releases layers of dark fruit, prominently featuring blackberries and plums, intertwined harmoniously with exotic spices and an enticing dark chocolate undertone. These enchanting aromas lay the groundwork for the palate, where the wine unveils a tapestry of taste–succulent dark cherry and blackberry flavors meld with the natural spice of oak, and whispers of licorice, vanilla, and anise. A beautiful roundness and firm yet approachable tannins lead to a finish that is both enduring and sophisticated. This wine is a true testament to the elegance and opulence attainable in a Napa Valley Malbec.
