Paoletti Estates Winery

Malbec
Calistoga

5 cases produced

Description

Malbec has had a resurgence in popularity in recent years and the Calistoga appellation is especially well suited to growing this varietal. Paoletti Estates Winery grows three different blocks of Malbec on their estate vineyards in Calistoga. The twenty-year-old block at the winery yields only small amounts of fruit, but it is beautiful and highly concentrated. So for Premiere, we selected what we felt was the best barrel from this block: a dark ruby wine infused with black cherry, plum, blackberry and subtle smoky oak.
