Titus
Napa Valley Malbec
Napa Valley, California, USA
Wow.. 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.

One of the best Malbec I've had❗️Visited the vineyards last week. They were getting ready for grand opening of new winery but graciously took the time to give us a tour and an incredible wine tasting. Eric Titus and our host Mike shared Napa history as well as their own family history in Napa. Titus is my new number one go to wine.
