2019Scarline Malbec
The 2019 Single Barrel Scarline Malbec was crafted exclusively from the Scarline vineyard in the Columbia Valley AVA. Farmed using sustainable practices, the vines were limited to one or two clusters per shoot to create maximum concentration in each cluster. They were hand-harvested in the early fall mornings. Upon arriving at the winery, each cluster was hand-sorted, berry-sorted, and fermented. Using only the free-run wine, it was moved to custom French oak barrels (100%% new) for 44 months of cellaring. Only 4 barrels were bottled, unfined and unfiltered, producing only 91 cases.
Dark and energetic, with a touch of violet florals, the 2019 Single Barrel Malbec shows weight and drive. Richly textured, fruit forward, and unabashedly opulent. True to the varietal, it is fresh, beautifully perfumed and supremely silky.
