2014 Cloudburst Malbec

The 2014 Malbec boasts scents of leather and cedar overlaid on a base of black cherry fruit. There's a vaguely floral note on the nose as well as an earthy undercurrent. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a crisp, mouthwatering finish.

A pure display of blue- and black-berried fruit comes gently wrapped in smoky oak. It's presented in pristine condition; notes of liquid violets come floating forward as the wine breathes, emphasising the wine's quality (and seductive charms) further. Jul 2016, www.winecompanion.com.au

A densely flavored, deeply layered, majestic wine with tremendous vibrancy, the 2014 Cloudburst Malbec is absolutely delicious. From the first aromatic sniff, to the fantastically long finish, it is a wine that satisfies on every level. Intense, yet poetic, the wine is an inky magenta, with terrific weight. This wine is a perfect melding of crème de violette, damson plum, baked apple, mocha, blackstrap molasses, ripe black cherries, boysenberries, blackberries, and black currents. A line of hickory smoke, dark wet tobacco and black pepper adds mystery, depth and grip to a very rich, delicious and alluring wine with a profound and satisfying finish.
