Our 2022 Malbec & Petit Verdot is one of three experimental small-batch wines from the second volume of our Winemaker Series. This highly-anticipated release again features our winemakers' foray into new, lesser-known varietals and winemaking techniques. Each wine is a work of art that transcends the typical tasting experience. Everything, from the label to the wine inside the bottle, is intentionally left open to your interpretation.

This enticing blend is amazingly dark in the glass with blue and purple fruit, toasted brioche, and reduced blueberry chutney. Densely textured and chewy on the palate, ample tannins provide a smooth yet firm structure for the balanced acidity and notes of dried currant, vanilla, dried blackberry, and savory dried herbs.

Instant flavor and texture and the wine hits the palate. Texture is dense and chewy with ample tannins bringing structure that smooth but firm holding up with balanced acidity, notes of dried currant, vanilla, dried blackberry and savory dried herbs.

Amazingly dark color exploding with blue and purple fruit, toasted brioche, reduced blueberry chutney, and notes of spiced bacon fat. 

ABV 14.5%

Vintage 2022

Varietal Red Blend

Appellation Napa Valley

Wappo Hill Vineyard is one of our internal vineyards and proving to be the top performer consistently year after year. We love the density of color, flavor and texture the every variety demonstrates here. From Sauv blanc, to Syrah, to Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, every many of our favorite varieties shine here and show amazing characteristics that are true to variety and unique to themselves. Amazing sense of terroir and minerality when ripe and fruit forward making for an amazing balance of elegance, power, and yum! This wine is made from two blocks that were destined for replant right after harvest on a beautiful little hill right in the middle of the vineyard on one side Malbec that sees the sun in the morning, and on the other Petit Verdot that gets the sun in the heat of the day. Due to these factors, these blocks tend ripen at the same time, so we decided to harvest them together and ferment them together. Each brings value to the other creating a very harmonious blend where Petit Verdot brings power and color and savory blue fruit, Malbec brings elegance and richness and purple fruit. We were stoked with the resulting wine, we felt it necessary to include in this collection and share with everyone!
