On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience, anchored by vibrant acidity that enhances its overall freshness. The fruit intensity is quite prominent, presenting luscious notes of dark berries, plums, and a hint of chocolate that linger delightfully. Tannins are well-structured and provide a firm backbone, balancing the wine's fruity character and contributing to its potential for aging. The wine finishes dry, leaving a satisfying impression that encourages another sip. A true expression of its terroir, this Malbec exemplifies the craftsmanship and quality of Clos Du Bois.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
