This is their Malbec. The Delectable library didn't have their Malbec label. Nose of wild, dark fragrant florals, mocha, dark & milk chocolate. Core of dark currants, anise, ruby; blackberries, blue fruits & black raspberries. Violets and rich, dark soil. The mouthfeel is rich and thick with M+ silty tannins. The floral fruits are; blackberries, black plums, black raspberries, dark cherries and they are gorgeously sexy. Spice, mocha powder & bar, nice portion of baking spices, hint of pepper, crushed dry rocks, loamy soils, nice and acidity with finish that is thick, rich, elegant and lasts. 65% fruit, 20% earth, 15% spice. Photos of; the winery made in a barn style, the view walking out the front door and their library cellar.

This is a good wine; the 2015 will be great—tasted it in barrel.

2013 vintage. A vanilla nose. Big and complex. Spice, black cherry and vanilla flavors. A smooth finish.

2013 vintage. This is our first Malbec from Garrison Creek. Very nice. Smoke and cherry nose. Spicy, deep cherry and leather comes through. Complex, full bodied.
