Layer Cake Malbec

Grown in the arid climate that can be found at the foot of the Andes Mountains, the grapes that go into Layer Cake Malbec are chosen with care to ensure winemaking excellence. The result is black fruit flavored with hints of earth, cocoa, and truffles as well as blackberries and chocolate sauce, which pairs well with chicken as well as leaner cuts of pork and lamb.

TASTING NOTES

Big, brooding, black fruit, then rich earth, truffles and dark cocoa are at the front. The Sea of Stones vineyard is at its core, always evident with the thread of minerality that the deep alluvial cobblestones lend. This wine is elegant in the mouth with fresh-picked blackberries, simmering chocolate sauce on the stove, and somewhere someone’s cooking bacon…so many layers, so little time. Drinking a bottle of this wine will certainly lead to, well, opening another.
