Madroña Vineyards Signature Collection Malbec 2019 Review
This Malbec comes from the high-elevation vineyards of California's El Dorado AVA. The altitude allows the grape to express its brighter side, with tart red fruit and fresh acidity. Expect notes of juicy cherries, raspberries, and sweet spices framed by a great structure.
