Nose: Red raspberries, ripe rhubarb, and blackberries playing Red Rover and racing to the nose.

Palate: Fruitastic-ly fresh, vibrant, and loaded up with jammy flavors of red raspberries, blackberries, and bing cherries.

The 2017 Gran Reserva Malbec is selected from old Vines from Mendoza and undergoes 15 months aging in new French and American oak. It integrates the oak with aplomb, the nose is vibrant and well-defined, with notes of cassis, blueberry and blackberry. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins enhanced by a patina of dark chocolate-tinged black fruit. The texture of the wine will perfectly compliment many good meat dishes.

Elegant in the mouth, delivering fresh-picked blackberries, spice and rich chocolate aromas and flavors all woven together. The palate is smooth with a nice mineral hint. Pair this wine with poultry, and soft cheeses.

Planted in 1999, Levy & McClellan is a project by Bob Levy, who has been at Harlan Estate since its beginning, and by Martha McClellan, who is winemaker for Sloan and Checkerboard.

In its youth this is a hefty, muscular beast that gradually takes on an increasingly silky texture as time passes in bottle. Lots of profound dark fruit up front with notes of assorted spice, mint, black pepper and dark chocolate on the nose. The use of oak is judicious and handsome, resulting in a really impressive, elegant wine showing much complexity and finesse.

Karas Malbec begin life in vineyards seated in the shadows of sacred Mount Ararat, heirs of the ancestral winemaking legacy in the Armavir region that has long made the most of this volcanic terroir’s DNA. Raise a toast and celebrate life the Armenian way, with singing, dancing and merry making.

Deep violet color. On the nose it presents red fruits, vanilla and chocolate. A complex, rich wine with soft tannins ripe and with a long finish.
