About the wine
Powerfully fruity, single-vineyard Malbec from your Lodi specialist
- This bold, full-powered Malbec is drenched in rich, mouth-filling dark berry flavors, woven together with a smooth, luscious texture from aging with French and American oak and a finish that lasts and lasts.
- With your support behind her, Karen selected her Malbec from a single premium vineyard in the heart of Lodi, sustainably farmed by fourth-generation grapegrowers – and turned that fabulous fruit into this decadent red, just for you.
- It's the kind of wine that shows exactly why Karen is your reigning Winemaker of the Year! Pour yourself a glass and celebrate having one of the best winemakers in the world working for you.
Best before
I recommending buying several bottles and tasting them over the next 3 years. It's fun to taste a wine evolve and change in the bottle as they develop with age.
Serving advice
I suggest aerating this Malbec before serving it, especially if you are drinking it this year. Use your favorite aerator or decanter (wait 45 minutes), and if you don't have one, open your wine early, pour a glass, swirl and be very patient before you take that first sniff.
Food match
This is a great daily red that pairs well with so many foods. It's a versatile wine with charcuterie platters, cheeses, lasagna, roasted chicken, even macaroni and cheese. It's also always a good match with pork, BBQ and grilled burgers with cheddar cheese.
Contains sulphites
