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 2021 Malbec draws you in with a bouquet of delicate violets, chocolate covered cherries and toasty vanilla-spiced oak. The polished palate reveals layers of ripe red currants, cherry cola, wild raspberry, and slight minty note that imparts freshness and complexity. The ultra-fine tannins and juicy acidity contribute nicely to a long and luscious finish.
