“The 2021 Shadybrook Estate Malbec shines with its deep purple-garnet color, complex violet aromas, sandalwood, and earthy notes, plus hints of oolong tea, cinnamon, and chicory. The palate reveals an elegant balance of fresh acidity and silky tannins, showcasing flavors of plum, molasses, and toffee. It pairs beautifully with dishes from pre-dinner cheese courses to rich main courses like pan-seared duck breast or short ribs, as well as decadent desserts. With only one acre of Malbec planted, this vintage is a rare gem, sought after for its distinct personality and exceptional quality.”
