Dry Creek Vineyard Malbec 2021 Review
This wine from Dry Creek Valley is all about Malbec's fruit-forward side. Think Beaujolais vibes, but it's Malbec from California. It's bursting with black cherry, raspberry, and blueberry notes with some hints of mocha and spice that add a nice complexity. It has soft tannins and a silky mouthfeel that make this an incredibly easy-drinking wine.
