Rich, dark, and juicy—the hallmarks of a truly great Malbec. And that's exactly what we strive for at James Cole Winery. Malbec is a late-ripening grape, demanding even more time on the vine than Cabernet Sauvignon. Our Malbec grapes thrive in a unique terroir of rocky, gravelly soil that absorbs and retains the sun's warmth, allowing the grapes to develop incredible richness and complexity even after sunset. The result is a wine with exceptional intensity, depth, and balance.

The 2020 Malbec is rich and inviting with expressive notes of raspberries, red plum, dark cherries, and acai berry alongside subtle hints of violets, dark chocolate, and baking spices. The powerful fruit and spicy characteristics are highlighted by a minerality that interweaves nicely with the fine-grained tannins, silky textures, and juicy mouth-watering acidity.
