Tasting Notes:

Deep violet in color, our 2022 Refugio Malbec opens with an inviting perfume of berry preserves, fennel and cedar, delving into a darker core of ripe black plum and black pepper, with toasted oak framing the present yet forgiving tannins riding across an extended finish.

Winemaker’s Notes:

Approachable, balanced & loyal. Our Refugio Malbec remains true to its typicity, with the authentic influence of the Temecula terroir. Aromas of black fruit & baking spices meet your nose in a gentle greeting, later opening into humble nuances of cedar & pine. Extending across plush, velvety tannins, the finish leaves an everlasting impression.
