The wine was close to perfect. Garnet color with a little bricking on the edges. Typical Sangiovese nose of sour cherry and dusty earth. Lovely tertiary aroma of tar and dried mushroom. Still had some tannins that gave it structure but really in a good place to drink. The flavors matched the nose but was very fresh — no prune or raisin flavors. Loved it.

2021 Navarro Vineyards Malbec

This wine exceeded my expectations. More of a French style Cabot type Malbec than the often jammy Argentine Malbecs.

Aging perfectly. Golden in color. Honey and spice with a long dry finish.
