Hillside Reserve Malbec 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI would join the Hillside Wine Club to get access to this delicious Naramata malbec. The 2016 comes off a long established vineyard just south of Naramata village. It projects the best of malbec: soft, juicy fruit with a wrapping of savoury Okanagan sagebrush. Round, lively and food-friendly, you can’t ask for much more. The perfect growing season and a warm lakeside vineyard combined to give this malbec an energized plushness and a love of food. Stock up they are giving it away at $28.Tasted: 17 March 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $28.00 | 750ml | wine club only |
