Trinchero Napa Valley
Cloud's Nest Vineyard Malbec
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
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
