2013 Kelham Vineyards Malbec
Oakville, Napa Valley
Tasting Notes:
The 2013 Malbec is a bold and expressive wine, highlighting the varietal’s dark fruit intensity with the elegance of Oakville terroir. In the glass, it reveals a deep, inky purple hue with garnet edges, reflecting its concentration and richness.
The nose is lush and inviting, with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and ripe plum, layered with violet, cocoa, and a hint of sweet tobacco. Subtle notes of cedar and warm spice emerge with air, adding depth and complexity.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, offering ripe black fruit flavors supported by supple tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors of dark cherry, blackberry compote, and mocha flow into a long, smooth finish accented by soft spice and a touch of earthiness.
Mouthfeel:
Rich and rounded, with a plush texture and a lingering, fruit-driven finish.
Pairing Suggestions:
Exceptional with grilled steaks, barbecue short ribs, lamb chops, or aged manchego cheese.
Cellaring:
Drinking beautifully now, with the structure to age gracefully through 2045+
