Forest Hill Cabernet Malbec 2023

This is 65% Block 7, which produced the prettiest fruit on the property, and about 35% old vine malbec, off vines that are 25 years old. Deep dark colour. The nose has a slightly turned earth and meaty aromas with bright red fruits. Dark fruits in the middle palate with tremendous depth and concentration but it’s smooth and seamless. A very small amount of new oak in here. Chalky fine tannin builds to a long finish. Trace of graphite in there.
