Tasting notes
The 2020 Lauren's Single Vineyard Malbec displays a deep, inky purple hue. The bouquet offers an intricate tapestry of dark berry fruits—blackberry and cassis—intertwined with delicate floral notes of violet and a subtle hint of graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably structured, revealing layers of ripe plum, black cherry, and a touch of baking spice from judicious oak maturation. The tannins are finely integrated, providing a velvety texture and a persistent, elegant finish marked by refreshing acidity and a lingering minerality.
