Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark, inky, peppery, just a touch of dried herbs, and delicious - not a jam dark mocha bomb that can be typical of Malbec. Their wine has a Bordeaux undertone to them, which is refreshing.

Oct 12th, 2018Wow.. bombshell Malbec by mister Phillip Titus himself. What a wine. Rose petal, smoke, cedar, blackberry jam, and pepper in a fragrance jettisoning out of the glass. The pallet is big and lush - deep extraction of the fruit, exhibiting notes of black plum, smoked blackberry compote, mocha, dark chocolate, black pepper - all laced by firm, but forgiving tannins. I do love Cabernet from P.T. (especially Chappellet) but when it comes to the non-traditional wines he creates like his Petit Verdot and Malbec, he brings something entirely different to the table. I should get as much of this 2012 as I can. Brings me back to having BBQ creek side, listening to Phillip tell me stories about Robert Mondavi while he had an IPA in hand. Bravo Mr. Titus.

A medley of red fruits, raspberry, dark cherry with a touch of vanilla and distant toasty notes. Very silky and smooth. Most of the olfactory notes concours with the palate. Generous and powerful tannins. Simply delicious!
