Score 97/100 · Drink 2024-2044, Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2022

The 2019 Malbec Rockpile Ridge has cloaking aromatics of graphite, kirsch, fresh leather, and cedar. The palate is ripe up front, with plum, cocoa, and mineral earth, with building tannins through a long finish. Allow a couple years in cellar for this to meld, and drink it over the following 15-20 years.

Winemaker Jesse Katz and associate winemaker Hillary Sjolund have introduced puncheons for the fermentation and maturation of the 2019 Malbec Rockpile Ridge Vineyard (about 40%). Deep ruby-purple, it has a generous, detailed perfume of warm blueberries and Morello cherries with layers of milk chocolate, white pepper, dried thyme and lavender, continuing to unfold as it airs in the glass. The full-bodied palate is powerful yet velvety, with fresh acidity, detailed, layered fruits and a very long, floral finish. Only 270 cases were made.
