A stunner from this vineyard, made entirely varietal, and aged 20 months in new French oak. Floral and herbal, the wine is thick, dense and concentrated, still youthful in intensity. Smoked pepper accents meat and game, as rose petals come into play on the nose. Fully expressive in these savory characteristics, it ends in a burst of succulent blueberry and smoke. | Virginia Boone for Wine Enthusiast, 94 points...offers sweet bluer and blacker fruits, some notes of roasted coffee, and chocolate. The wine has fabulous fruit, a lush mid-section and ripe tannin in the long finish... | Robert M. Parker Jr., 90-92 pointsThere are only 10 barrels produced of this 100% Malbec (clones 595 & 4) off the dry-farmed, hillside Farrow Ranch Vineyard in the Alexander Valley AVA of Sonoma County California. The wine is aged in 100% French oak barrels for 22 months unfined and is bottled unfiltered. This is an incredible testament to a well-loved grape varietal. | Falling Bright
