2020 McNally Vineyards Reserve Malbec

A rarity among Niagara grape varietals, this small-lot 2020 Malbec from McNally Vineyards is only made as a single varietal in the most exceptional of vintages. Infamous for its opaque purple coloring, our 2020 Malbec also presents strong aromas of dark cherry, cassis, and plum. With subtle notes of dried thyme and leather, this juicy medium-bodied wine will not disappoint.
