Matchbook 2018 The Herdsman MAL Giguiere Estate Malbec (Dunnigan Hills)
This Malbec is filled with plump black and blue fruits, with an elevated acidity that keeps this fuller red wine fairly light on its feet. Integration of oak elevates fruit components without overwhelming; tannins are a calm medium, just gently creating a backbone down the center of the tongue. Flavors of blackberry jam, boysenberry, blueberry, black plum, cacao, anise, nutmeg, fresh violets and damp forest floor. Stacy Briscoe
