The 2022 Monastery Block Malbec was so dark, velvety, and beautifully delicious that we knew we had to feature it in this one-time blend. A small amount of Monastery South Petit Verdot was added for a touch more power and complexity.

Fresh blue and purple fruit with dark spice, violet and nice oak

Ripe purple plum rounded out by notes of violet and toast

Vintage 2022

Varietal Malbec

Appellation Oakville

Composition 98% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot

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
