Painted Rock Malbec 2021

16^¾/20

Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom the Skinners' teeny 1.15 acres of Skaha Bench malbec, this was aged in oak barrels (30% new) for 18 months before being bottled unfiltered. Smouldering black plum, dense black cherry is kissed with charcoal, and perfumed with dusky violets across the full body. Black tea tannins keep the 14.6% heft well-pinned in, with a charming easy acidity to lift through the finish. Open in advance and enjoy now, or let sleep a bit in your cellar before you enjoy with lamb.Tasted: 21 September 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
