WINE DESCRIPTION

Becker Vineyards Reserve Malbec, sourced from Texas Hill Country’s Tallent Vineyards, showcases the depth and character of this varietal in a regional expression. Aged for 26 months in a combination of used American and French oak barrels, this wine balances the vibrancy of red fruit with a nuanced earthy undertone.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Malbec opens with herbaceous aromas of eucalyptus, dried oregano, and ripe plums, with floral notes of violets.On the palate, it offers plush tannins and a mix of red berries and plums, finishing with earthy, grippy textures. Medium acidity and body make it versatile for food pairings, especially with turkey, pork, or grilled meats. Best enjoyed now, after a 30-minute decant.
