2005 Malbec

See our complete wine selection

We’re seeing more and more Malbec on the shelves in fine wine shops – mostly from Argentina, where they have 40,466 acres planted. In Bordeaux in southwestern France where it originated, Malbec continues to be a traditional blending grape. Regretably, there are only 1,153 bearing Malbec acres (compared to 75,909 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon) out of a total of 475,219 acres of vineyard in California. We're certainly happy that we have some as it makes a terrific wine! Complex aromas of spice and berries, with concentrated fruit flavors and medium finish.

Due to individual state regulations we can only ship to the following 28 states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. We can also ship internationally, however it's pretty expensive.

2005 Malbec made from our Rennie Vineyard certified organic grapes.

Winemaker's notes

Harvested in two lots at the end of October, the grapes were gently crushed into an open top fermenter, cold soaked and innoculated with Pasteur Red yeast. After fermentation reached dryness, the wines were aged in French oak barrels for about 20 months before bottling. Enjoy this wine in its relative youth, when the fruit flavors star. Drink by end of 2010.
