2017 Black's Station Yolo County Malbec
Tasting Notes
Our 2017 Yolo County Malbec has pronounced aromas of saddle leather and mocha and big explosive flavors of blueberry, cranberry and boysenberry jam. A good grip of tannins balances the rich, dense weight of the wine. This is a substantial Malbec that is mouth-filling and opulent.Vineyard Notes
Due east of Napa, tucked away in northern California's rolling Dunnigan Hills, is a little town called Zamora. But back in the late 1800's, folks around here used to call it Black's Station. At its height, this hub founded by J.J Black boasted a hotel, two stores, a jail, blacksmith shops and a town hall. Today we grow our grapes in Zamora and we like to think that they carry with them the character and frontier-style of that old town.Pairings
Robust tannins frame the smooth flavors and make this a versatile wine that will pair well with lamb dishes, a juicy prime rib or lasagna.| Vintage | 2017 | ||||||
