Vintage Notes

The 2016 Tenor Malbec was crafted from a single vineyard along the Royal Slope in the Columbia Valley AVA. Farmed using sustainable practices, the vines were hand-harvested over several early mornings in the late fall. Upon arriving in the winery, each cluster was hand-sorted to ensure only pristine clusters go into the wine and then fermented in 100% stainless steel tanks. Using only the free-run wine, it was then moved to custom French oak 225L barrels (75% new) for cellaring with over 40 individual evaluations by our winemaking team. Only 95 cases were bottled.
