"Intense, with aromas of black cherry, spice, and violet. The wine has amazing grip but with silky, mineral-driven tannins taken from the uniqueness of the terroir, and flavors of blackberry and fresh cherries." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Exudes aromas that foreshadow what's to come, with a central chalky-slate presence and fresh violet and mountain herb nuances underneath. Features generous raspberry and plum flavors that are fresh and pure, buoyed by lively, chalky acidity. Ends with finesse and fine tannins. Drink now through 2030. 11,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported." —Wine Spectator "The 2019 Malbec Pyros Appellation from the Pedernal Valley was 85% aged in used barrels for 12 months. Hailing from a vineyard that takes special care of native flora, the lovely, slightly liqueur-like nose presents notes of licorice, touches of amaretti, sour cherry and plum aromas with hints of herb and thyme. Quite smooth on the palate with slightly reactive, chalky tannins, it delivers moderate freshness and good flavor at the end. This is a new style for the house and the Pedernal Valley as a whole, adding an extra dimension." —Vinous |
