Clif Family Winery & Farm Napa Valley Malbec 2023 Review
Sourced from the Valle Di Sotto Vineyard in Napa’s Oak Knoll District, this Malbec is thoughtful and elegant. It offers earthy, concentrated wild berry fruit on the nose with hints of worn leather. The palate is supple and framed by a quiet, sophisticated tannic structure.
