Krutz 2008 Krupp Vineyard Malbec (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Malbec
Winery: Krutz / Krupp Vineyard

One of the few California Malbecs that comes close to the dense fruit and sheer deliciousness of Argentine bottlings. The wine is full-bodied, soft and insanely rich in blackberry, black currant, cassis, chocolate, bacon and spice flavors, with intense tannins and a fine cut of acidity for balance. This is barbecue wine on steroids.
