Imagery Estate Winery Malbec 2021 Review
Sustainable winemaking has been part of the Benziger ethos since the 1970s when they settled in northern California. They went full biodynamic in 1995 and haven’t looked back. This Malbec is from their Imagery Estate collection, and shows that this kind of sustainability can lead to delicious wine. It’s subtle and earthy on the nose with a soft viscous palate, showing medium fruit depth and a nice finish.
