Yes, Charles Smith and his team also produce a really great Malbec. Pronounced blue and black fruits, hint of graphite, violets, cocoa and tar. Touch of vanilla on the long and slightly tart finish. This wine exhibits a nice freshness. Medium body and tannins with balanced acidity. Softens beautifully as it opens up. Revisited in November 2022. Wine is very close to its peak. Wine has softened nicely with time. Floral (violet) notes have intensified and this bottle offered an additional herbal note. Touch of menthol on the finish. Good stuff. Revisited again in May 2023. A bit past its peak.
