Malbec can be a challenge to grow and ripen but this vineyard, high up in the Sonoma Mountain AVA is a wondrous spot.  With its eastern face sitting above the morning fog these grapes enjoy the added hours of ripening needed to make the fruit into a lush, robust yet refined powerhouse. Small, dense clusters of flavor ranging from damson, cocoa and sweet tobacco to pepper, violet and a finish of chocolatey richness.
