The 2017 ‘Component Collection’ Malbec shows bright violets with blackberry compote and white pepper dusted mocha tones alongside scorched earth that all take shape in the glass. The palate is plush showing a gorgeous sense of richness and complexity. Blueberry cordial and Black Forest Cake flavors march on parade with espresso bean and dark currants on the palate. The length here is really good, as this beautiful and decadent Malbec wine will provide drinking enjoyment for the next fifteen years. Drink 2021-2036- 94

Terrific Malbec! Dark fruit, hints of anise.

Dark rich purple color. Mild. Full body, velvety smooth, well-balanced. Blueberries, plums forward with a long easy finish. Terrific wine from the partnership of Antinori and Chateau Ste. Michelle!
