2024 Domaine Finot Malbec, Virginia, United States

This Malbec pours a deep garnet color and opens with aromas of blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, layered with hints of black pepper and spice. On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied, with ripe dark fruit, soft velvety tannins, and a subtle earthy character that leads into a smooth, lightly spiced finish.
