2018 THÉRÈSE VINEYARDS MALBEC-DOS NIÑAS
Tasting notes
At the foot of the Santa Cruz mountains, Dos Niñas Vineyard grows fruit reflecting true Malbec character. Blackberry, boysenberry and vanilla coat the palate, while luscious plum tannins finish off this beautiful wine. Perfect with boeuf bourguignon. Enjoy now and for the next several years!
