Wine Details
Price:
$15.00 per bottle
Description:
We gently destemmed the grapes for the Sagelands 2003 Malbec without crushing to retain more whole berries, then cold soaked them for one to two days before fermentation. This allowed us to obtain a softer wine with more fruit expression. After aging the wine for 15 months in American oak, we added a portion of Cabernet Sauvignon to enhance the complexity and depth.
An attractive garnet color with a purple hue, the wine displays a fragrant nose of floral and fruity aromas with some violet, mixed berries and intense toast from the barrels. Lush and refreshing on the palate, with integrated soft tannins and a splash of floral perfume on the lingering finish, this Malbec is very approachable upon release and will continue to improve within the next few years.
