The fruit for this wine came predominantly from our To Kalon Vineyard, which is located on prime benchland in the Oakville District appellation. The well-drained, low-fertility soils and optimal sun exposure here enable the development of rich, complex flavors and impeccable phenolic maturity.

Pts. James Suckling "A spicy, meaty, almost chewy red with deep fruit flavors, plenty of shaping tannins and a good sense of depth. It's the first varietal Malbec the winery has ever made. Full-bodied with good acidity and freshness, offering raspberry, black cherry, cedar and cumin flavors that make it distinctive. Drink now or hold." - Jim Gordon, James Suckling, January 31, 2025
