Malbec – 2013; San Pasqual Winery; La Mesa California

Sourced from Hill Springs Farms Vineyard in San Diego County, this very dry and well-aged Malbec is settling in quite nicely for your wine sipping pleasure.   At nine years old, it is still quite opaque and most of the fruity notes are dominated by luscious plums.  Flavors of apricot will greet you on that initial sip followed by a touch of oak.  Strong tannins are still holding on, so be prepared for a good mouth gripping feel. You might also discern a little earthiness in there, too.  It is a great pleasure trying out this Malbec from the west coast.  Enjoy!
