Malbec

This is a "Port Style" wine made from Malbec grapes in Argentina.  Even the bottle is a "Port" type bottle.  Purple/blue in color, opaque and shimmering bright.  The nose has aromas of chocolate covered raisins.  Very nice.  Full bodied.  Great texture.  On the palate, black cherries, dark chocolate and slight prunes.  Long finish.  This is delicious on its own and would work nicely with a (dark) chocolate dessert.  18% abv.  

When Turnbull launched in 1979 it was with the goal of producing excellent Cabernet Sauvignon. Of course, at the time there was a lot of excellent Cabernet in the market. But as many Napa Cabernets chose to make enormous and heavy-handed wines, Turnbull chose a different direction. The craftsmanship of this is an homage to Old-School Napa Cabernet - those wines not often made anymore that truly prized the plot of land and extolled the fruit over the use of high brix and lots of oak. So if you want to taste Cabernet the way it used to be, this will complement any occasion.

Made with organic grapes and Fair Trade Certified.  100% Malbec.  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is bold with plums, black cherries, char and slight spice.  Full bodied.  Nice texture.  Good balance.  Light to medium tannins.  On the palate, this drinks easy with plenty of fruit.  Plums, black raspberries, spice and char.  Good finish.  This is nice on its own and will work well with a burger off the grill.  This should drink well for the the next three to five years.
