Malbec grown in Sonoma produces lush flavors of ripe blackberries and pie spices with soft tannins. The Cuvée, which in French means wine blend, is built to accentuate the flavors and balance of the Malbec. We accentuate the berry flavors with Merlot and Zinfandel. The Cabernet Franc adds a chocolate note to the top of the palate and the Syrah fills in the bottom. It’s a delicious blend from a very good vintage, 2014. The 2014 vintage is a lot like the 2008 and 2012, which gave us very elegantly balanced wines, less in your face than a 2007 or 2013, still expressive and perfect for a cuvée.
