There’s no mistaking the Foolhardy Malbec, which can be identified from the purple-black color alone. Like our previous Malbecs from the Southwind Vineyard in Milton Freewater, the 2023 is gutsy and concentrated, loaded with cardamom spice, wild berry and roasted plum tones. Mineral accents, subtle black pepper and generous, fleshy fruit promise years of delicious drinking.
