Opens with aromas of pure cassis, perfumed blackberry, dark chocolate, rich mocha, with hints of black pepper, pie spice, and tobacco box. The palate is complex with soft edged tannins that lead to notes of blackberry liquor, ripe plum, and caramel, with hints of graphite, pipe tobacco, and maple. Full bodied and approachable now, our 2018 Cadden Vineyards Malbec will age gracefully over the next 3 to 7 years.
