Description
VARIETALS. 100% Malbec.VINEYARDS. Red Tail Vineyard, Paso Robles. Estrella District
WINEMAKING. One of the lesser-known varietals to be used in traditional Bordeaux blends, and is increasingly celebrated as a South American speciality. It was in the Andean foothills of Mendoza in Argentina where Picchetti’s owner, Leslie, first discovered and fell in love with this wine. Sourced exclusively from a small vineyard located in the rolling plains of the Estrella River Valley on the warmer, east side of Paso Robles. Barrel-aged for 36 months in a combination of French & American oak (50% new barrels).
TASTING.
Aroma: Rich dark fruit notes of blackberry, red plum, rose petals, violets, wild berry, vanilla and a balsamic note leap from the glass.
Palate: Smooth, fruit forward wine, with balanced acidity, dark chocolate, toasted oak and moderate levels of tannins.
FOOD PAIRING. The perfect accompaniment to fire grilled meats with chimichurri sauce, empanadas, roasted leg of lamb, or your favorite burger with melted sharp cheddar.
