Abacela Malbec 08

A delicate perfume with ripe, unctuous blue and black fruit. This Malbec will improve over the next three to five years and pair wonderfully with grilled pork ribs marinated in chipotle-mushroom aioli.

Malbec has proven to be an ideal varietal match to Southern Oregon’s climate. The Cox’s Rock and Chaotic Ridge parcels of our estate vineyards continually provide fruit of uncommon depth and refinement. - the winery

Perfectly balanced with notable intensity to the ripe blueberry, huckleberry, cassis, and pencil lead aromas. The wine's texture is medium bodied and silky with elements of earth and roasted herbs. A smooth, dry finish effortlessly matches berry pie filling, toasty, sweet oak, and mineral hints with velvety tannins. This wine will benefit from short term cellaring for two to four years.

Pair this Malbec with braised short ribs and brown mustard-mushroom confit.
