Kiona Vineyards and Winery Heart of the Hill Red Mountain Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

We have just 2.55 acres of Malbec planted at our estate Heart of the Hill vineyard on Red Mountain. The varietal thrives here, producing wines of uncommon depth and complexity, usually with a softer, rounder profile than many of its Bordeaux-varietal cousins. Malbec has recently been “discovered” by the wine-drinking public as a superb stand-alone grape for fruit-forward, dark, approachable wines with lots of depth. This certainly holds true on Red Mountain, where plantings are relatively young but already exhibiting a lot of character. Color and acid in spades!
