Reserve Malbec

Sonoma County

This Reserve Chalk Hill Malbec opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and ripe plum, layered with notes of cocoa, vanilla, and subtle baking spice from extended oak aging. On the palate, the wine is richly textured yet balanced, showcasing concentrated dark fruit flavors supported by vibrant acidity from the cool growing season. Fine-grained tannins and hints of toasted oak, mocha, and graphite lead into a long, structured finish with both power and elegance.

Wine Fact Sheet

After a five-day cold soak, we crushed and fermented the grapes in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed off the skins then transferred to barrels and stirred twice monthly until the secondary malolactic fermentation was complete. After 20 months of aging in 60% new French and American oak, the wine was filtered and bottled in August 2025.
