En Garde, Alexander Valley (Sonoma County, California) Malbec 2013

Sep 21, 2016

By Rich Cook

In a blind duel of Malbecs from all over the world, En Garde comes out on top with this savory wine.  Black fruit, oak spice, meat and subtle soy sauce are balanced beautifully, staying integrated all the way through the long finish.  Well done!  A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
