Tasting Notes

The 2020 Malbec is elegant and full-bodied. It opens with aromas of plum, blueberry, fresh cherry, and notes of forest floor. The palate mirrors the nose, adding strawberry and toasted oak to the bright, long finish.

The Foley Johnson Rutherford Estate Handmade Malbec is grown on loamy soils of gravel, clay and sand which help provide ample drainage and decrease the vigor of foliage growth. These ideal growing conditions allow our Bordeaux varietals to reach full maturity on the vine without taking on the green leafy taste of under-ripened fruit. After 18 months of aging in 60% new French oak, the wine was bottled.
