Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - During PNV week, lunch at the Cardinale House with Chris Carpenter and team. Really spectacular setting and fantastic hosts. Great to drink this with winemaker Chris Carpenter, he wrote his thesis on Malbec at Davis and taught our group about the varietal. Very unusual to find Malbec in Napa.

Medium/dark purple. Mt Veeder fruit, big plush fruit forward wine. Full mouthfeel but not a chewy wine. Black fruits, spice, cinnamon. The spice/cinnamon came out to all our tasters.

Not everyone would like this wine, our group did across the board. The setting and the company gives it a few points in overall experience. Worth trying if you can find it
