“The 2018 Shadybrook Estate Malbec has a beautifully concentrated crimson hue with soft aromas of lavender, lilac, huckleberry and savory herbs that invite you in. This vintage saw a longer skin contact due to mild temperatures during Summer, leading to a late Fall harvest of high quality fruit.   The palate boasts flavors of blueberry, black cherry, molasses and caramelized brown sugar with a bright mid-palate acidity.  The well integrated tannins create a robust body with a mouth-watering finish.  With less than one acre planted, the Shadybrook Estate Malbec is highly sought after and in limited quantities. It will age gracefully for years to come but if you can’t wait that long, we recommend decanting.”
