Hobbs Estate Malbec

Aging for 18 months in new French oak (55%) in combination with second use oak (45%). Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Marchiori Estate. 3,264 feet (995 meters). Cane pruned vineyard. Traditional furrow irrigation. Well-developed radical system among all the profile. This wine comes from vines more than 50 years old. Deep soils, upper strata of clay-loam to sandy-loam, and substrata of river-washed cobbles and round stones.

Intense ruby red color with dark violet hues. The nose displays cassis, juicy red plums and bramble, with hints of cardamom and tobacco. The palate has broad structure and lush tannins with a persistent finish.
