Layer Cake Malbec

Thanks to Pull the Cork Out

This is a piece of cake that you will want some more of. The concept behind Layer Cake which represents the different layers of wine and the image of a handcrafted product. Winemaker Jayson Woodbridge named Layer Cake as his grandfather told him that the soils in which the vines lived were a layer cake. If properly made, the wine from these vines was like a delicious cake. Malbec was one of the original 6 grapes of Bordeaux, which is now the premier red grape of Argentina. This grape thrives in the warm climate of Argentina. The fruit for Layer Cake Malbec comes from a vineyard that is flanking the Mendoza River in Argentina; a rocky terrain. All of the fruit is harvested, destemmed and sorted by hand.

This wine is 100% Malbec. Dark and dense color. Aromas are black fruit, anise and chocolate undertones. Flavors are blackberry, plum, berries, currants and cassis and white pepper spice. This is an intense mouthful of fruit-driven wine with soft tannins on the finish. 80% stainless steel fermented; 20% in used Hundred Acre barrels. 13.9% alcohol by volume. Be sure to leave room for seconds. Pull the cork out on this.
