2020 Damsel Cellars Stillwater Creek Malbec
Happy World Malbec Day!
100% Malbec
Stillwater Creek Vineyard, Royal Slope AVA
Dark purple and ruby, this intense Malbec shows dark fruit aromas of blackberry, black currant and ripe plum with hints of cracked black peppercorns and dried orange peel. On the palate, she leads with juicy fruit notes and a round, full mouthfeel with a balanced acidity and a freshness that lifts all its food companions. Growing at a much lower elevation than her Argentinian sister, Washington Malbec is more intensely fruit-driven but has less aggressive or intense tannins. Our Malbec still has a firm tannic structure and gorgeously long finish. If dining al fresco, grilling and camping are in your future for the warmer months, then this wine will be your best friend for preparing dinner over open flames. A dark and daring companion wine to all your outdoor adventures this spring, summer and beyond. Drink now through 2033.
