Louis M. Martini 2013 Monte Rosso Vineyard Malbec (Sonoma Valley)

Country: US / Monte Rosso Vineyard
Variety: Malbec California
Winery: Louis M. Martini / Sonoma Valley

From a two-acre block planted to the variety within this stately place, more famous for Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is herbal in dried sage, girded in big tannin and exhibiting plenty of density. Leathery black fruit, especially currant, and black pepper provoke the palate.
