Devil Proof Malbec, Farrow Ranch, is a lush, strikingly complex wine that comes from the Alexander Valley hillsides of Farrow Ranch in Northern Sonoma County.There are few sites where a single vineyard, let alone a single block, is better than a blend of multiple blocks or vineyards, but we have found something unique in this one vineyard block which contains all the components of an exceptional wine, exhibiting a true essence of terroir. This rare gem is Block #17 at Farrow Ranch for Devil Proof. The volcanic soil, a blend of Suther loam and Pleasanton gravelly loam, is ideally suited to this Malbec and allows us to successfully dry-farm the vineyard.This block was planted in 2022 with a mix of Clone 4 and Clone 595 Malbec grafted to 1103P rootstock. An adjacent large steep hillside creates great air movement through the vines which further enhances the wide diurnal temperature swings so well-known in this region. The result is beautifully ripe and fresh berries with firm acidity and unparalleled elegance for its power. | Devil Proof100% 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 20 months unfined and is bottled unfiltered. This is an incredible testament to a well-loved grape varietal. | Falling Bright
