One of the most perplexing aspects of Malbec is its stunning success in Argentina. The grape is native to Bordeaux and widely planted in California, but the best Malbec typically calls Argentina home. Stephanie’s 2015 Malbec from the Napa Valley rivals the finest Malbec Argentina can muster. Bold and rich, showing intense blackberry and currant fruit with smooth, supple tannins, this Napa Valley Malbec makes a powerful statement.
