Château Julien 2007 Black Nova III Malbec-Syrah (Monterey County)

Country: US / California
Variety: Malbec-Syrah
Winery: Château Julien / Black Nova III

Extraordinarily rich and sweet in raspberry, cherry, vanilla custard, brown sugar and cinnamon spice flavors. Soft and somewhat sugary on the finish, it shows lots of ripe California fruit, but would benefit from being drier.
