2021 Mt. Brave Malbec Mount Vedeer

JS97 Black berry with grapey highlights. The purity of fruit is so impressive. Almost a sense of chalkiness. Full and flavorful. A great mountain malbec. 223 cases produced. Drink after 2026.
TWI96 Deep garnet-purple in color, the single-varietal 2021 Malbec is quite broody and closed to begin, offering glimpses at black cherries, tar, wild sage, and black truffle before opening out to a core of preserved plums, rhubarb, and tapenade plus a waft of lavender oil. The full-bodied palate is rich and powerful, delivering firm, ripe, velvety tannins with wonderful freshness, finishing long and earthy. This is impressive!
