2022 Destin Estate Malbec
Destin Vineyard, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley
The 2022 Destin Estate Malbec from Napa Valley's Oak Knoll District is a deep, violet-hued vintage that dazzles with depth and elegance. It unveils a rich bouquet of ripe blueberries and blackcurrants, accented with floral notes and a refreshing hint of mint. The wine's structured and velvety body delights the palate with notes of boysenberry and mulberry, enriched by mocha and toasted almond, enhanced by its French oak aging program. Silky tannins and a round mouthfeel lead to a memorable finish, layered with dark chocolate and a subtle mineral edge. This Estate Malbec is a sophisticated expression of its unique terroir, offering a refined and nuanced drinking experience, presenting a new benchmark for Napa Valley Malbec.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Acquired in 2012, Destin vineyard gifted us with 16 acres of Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. Situated on the banks of the Napa River, this vineyard contains the perfect terrior and diurnal temperatures suited for world-class grape growing. The cooling effect of the Napa river allows us to maintain an excellent balance between acidity and body. The wines here have a distinct personality with exceptional color, structure, and ageability.
