2019 Mt. Brave Mt. Veeder Malbec

The 2021 vintage brought upon a very wet winter, frequent foggy spring mornings, and a mild summer with just a handful of brief heat spikes. Temperate fall weather allowed for extended hang time, and our last fruit came off the vines in late October. This is Mt. Brave Malbec at its finest. The nose is gorgeous with notes of pepper, blueberry and cassis while the mouthfeel is silky with bright acidity and soft tannins that frame a beautiful finish.
