Malbec Pepper Bridge Vineyard

Malbec Pepper Bridge Vineyard Wine Details
Price:

Description: I absolutely love this wine. It replaces the "mal" in Malbec with magnifique! Sumptuous Blackberry pie and fig, with high notes of black cherry and dried plum, are beautifully integrated with the new French oak's fine tannin structure, weathered red cedar spice and a subtle shaving of coconut. The finish doesn't miss a beat. It charges on in Energizer Bunny style, "it keeps on going and going and..."

Varietal Definition
Malbec:
Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, this grape is among the "big six" for red wine grapes. Malbec is typically a medium to full-bodied red wine. Ripe fruit flavors of plums and blackberry give it a jammy characteristic. The tannins are typically a bit tight and the earthy, wood-like appeal makes for a fairly rustic wine. Malbec goes well with roast meats such as chicken or turkey. It should be served at 58F and can be aged for up to 5 years typically.
