Handmade Estate Malbec

Handmade Estate Malbec

The Foley Johnson Rutherford Estate Handmade Malbec is grown on loamy soils of gravel, clay and sand which help provide ample drainage and decrease the vigor of foliage growth. These ideal growing conditions allow our Bordeaux varietals to reach full maturity on the vine without taking on the green leafy taste of under-ripened fruit.

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Handmade Rutherford Malbec is a full-bodied wine, showcasing the diverse characters of our Rutherford vineyard. On the nose, forest floor, leather, and clove are perfectly countered by black plum and blueberry fruit aromas. The palate is plush and balanced with a compilation of Kirch liqueur and vanilla flavors giving way to bright acidity through the finish. This wine pairs nicely with herbcrusted pork tenderloin
