750mL

On the expressive nose, aromas of ripe plum and boysenberry mingle with sweet baking spices from delicate oak integration, alongside hints of violet, cocoa, and a touch of vanilla. The palate is rich and full-bodied, offering layers of dark cherry, blackberry, and subtle mocha, balanced by vibrant acidity that enhances freshness. A plush structure carries through to the finish, where soft, round tannins provide a velvety mouthfeel. Signature of Napa Valley Malbec, this wine boasts depth, elegance, and a lingering finish with notes of espresso, tobacco, and a touch of minerality, showcasing the region’s warm days and cool nights that intensify flavor concentration and complexity.

Winemaking

Hand-picked grapes were destemmed and cold soaked for gentle flavor extraction. This allowed an elegant, layered fruit expression to develop while delicately releasing the natural cocoa-powder tannins. During fermentation, we pumped over the cap to incorporate the flavor-rich skins into the juice. To balance the bold fruit expression with toasty oak character, we chose 75% new and 25% seasoned French oak for barrel aging.

Vintage

The 2021 season yielded exceptional fruit. Early rain gave way to a dry season, creating ideal conditions for flowering and ripening. Low yields from drought led to intensely flavored berries. Harvest began early, with winemakers carefully timing picks for optimal ripeness. The result—wines with deep color, rich aromatics, and remarkable balance, showcasing the valley’s terroir.

Vineyard

The Reserve Malbec is sourced from a combination of the incredible Beaulieu Vineyard 10 and 12 valley-floor sites in the Napa Valley. We specifically selected premier vineyard sites situated on well-draining soils within Napa Valley to promote smaller berry size and higher skin-to-juice ratio to craft a superior quality wine.
