2017 Mounts Estate Malbec
Tasting Notes
This wine combines power with richness. Aromas of black plum, pencil lead shavings, and floral incense meld beautifully with the flavors of fresh blackberry, garrigue, and black fruit compote. Boldly structured with gripping tannins, this wine will benefit from cellaring.Vineyard Designation
