Note di degustazione
Inky black in color, the 2021 Malbec Rockpile Ridge is a wild beast. Raised in 100% new French oak, it takes on a distinctive profile that’s really not quite like anything else, with loads of concentrated black and blue fruit, menthol, wild forest herbs, lavender, gravelly earth, and polished leather. Coming from above the fog line, it offers a plush, ripe, full-bodied texture, sweet tannins, an incredibly intense core of concentration, and a long finish, but it’s going to need time. Drink 2026-2040.

The 2021 Malbec Rockpile Ridge Vineyard was matured for 22 months in 100% new French oak. It's youthfully coiled on the nose and takes plenty of time to reveal scents of blueberry compote, pure violet and cast iron. Full-bodied and alluring, it floods the mouth with dark blue, mineral-driven fruit. It has powerful, grainy tannins, and its seamless oak integration really allows all that floral perfume to shine through. This is developing much more slowly than the Farrow Ranch Malbec and deserves several years in bottle to continue to unwind. 100 cases were made.
