Canvasback Red Mountain Malbec 2021 Review
Canvasback is a winery within Napa Valley’s Duckhorn portfolio based in Washington State’s Columbia Valley. It’s a tiny region — about 4,000 acres, with just under 2,600 under vine — but the quality is mighty. Winemaker Joseph Czarny shows us why Malbec is something to be talked about in the Red Mountain AVA. It has deep, inky fruit on the nose with a waft of coffee and dark chocolate. The palate is even deeper with just enough acidity to weigh on the palate just right. It’s a deep, soulful wine.
