2016 Mt. Brave Malbec

Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Sunday, December 17, 2023 - I think 90 is a fair grade for this well made wine. Pnp'd a glass last week then put a Repour stopper in the bottle in the cellar. Enjoyed another glass or two during the week then finished the bottle today. Consistent findings all throughout the bottle. I love Cali Malbec as it's bigger, smoother and generally less green tinged than the SAmerican rendition. This is dark in the glass, slightly vegetal or multivitamin like on the nose but big and rounded and smooth on the palate. The palate rules for me.....this '16 is in a good place right now with all elements integrating nicely. Still a hint of oak/astringency and nice acidic backbone. This is my only '16 but I do have a couple of '18s in the cellar......feel like I'd like to try them with a little more age on them.
