From Haystack Rock Vineyard, perched 2,200 feet above sea level, within the heart of the Atlas Peak AVA. High altitude combined with poor, shallow soils creates vine stress, and in the case of this complex and alluring 2012 Malbec, yields firm tannins, high acidity and pronounced minerality on the finish. Black cherries, blackberries and plums lend fleshiness and weight, and I am particularly taken with the earthier tones that shine through—underbrush, mesquite and a dusting of ash. 14.5% ABV | Sample — 8 years ago

1/2 Syrah, 43% Grenache - this central coast Red has black fruit, a little cocoa & espresso layered into the aromatics. Great Job by Carlo Trinchero & Josh Phelps, the duo behind the "Taken" wine project. Excited to try the 2012 which got a 90 from tasting panel & the 2013 Chardonnay which received 91 from wine enthusiast. — 9 years ago

Cloud's Nest Vineyard, as the name implies, lies in the Mt. Veeder sub-appellation of Napa Valley and boasts incredibly steep, gravelly, well-drained soils and cool, easterly exposure. Tasted alongside Trinchero's Haystack Malbec—it is the perfect illustration of terroir. Here, the wine shows lushness, with abundant structure. Dark notes of ripe plum and blackberry sauce ripple through top notes of incense, tobacco and menthol, delightful herbal tones that emerge on both the nose and finish. Sample — 9 years ago

My wedding wine. Been drinking a bottle a year since 2003. This one was surprisingly the best I've had in years. Hope there are more bottles like this in the cellar! — 9 years ago
