Clayhouse makes 100% Malbec from estate vineyards and ages the wine in European and French oak for 18 months. The 2009 shows Malbec’s deep ruby-black color, medium ripe blueberry nose with French oak accents. The plumy-berry flavors are nicely textured with layered fruit, smoky notes and hints of anise, 14.3% alcohol and good length through the complex finish.
