Culmina Family Estate Malbec 2019
Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe malbec comes off Arise Bench, on the Golden Mile Bench, and post ferment, and spends 16 months ageing in French oak with a minimum amount of new oak. The attack is fragrant and more delicate than you might expect. Definitely a cooler version than the Moon Curser malbec. The palate is awash in black cherries, licorice, blueberries, and dusty minerals. The tannins are in check, dense but sweet, and with an overall savoury finish. Not so backward, this has appeal now but will improve in the bottle through 2025.
