2020 Cru de la Ruche Malbec

2020 Cru de la Ruche Malbec

Clements Hill, San Joaquin Valley
The name Cru de la Ruche, meaning vintage of the beehive, is a nod to our connection to the honeybee and its amazing ability to transform nectar into honey paralleling the transformation from grapes to wine.
 
TASTING NOTE:    This wine is saturated with dark fruit aromas and flavors of brambly blackberry and blueberry, accented by herbaceous secondary notes of leather and tobacco.  Pleasantly viscous, with complex layers and grippy tannins .  Expect a dancing acidity, with a rich mouthfeel and spicy oaked finish that lingers.

FOOD PAIRING:   Try this malbec with a variety of bold cuisines as it won’t be overshadowed by heavily flavored foods.  Also perfect for sipping on its own.
