2021 Decibel Gimblett Gravels Malbec, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand (750ml) Yountville smoky beef and cracked pepperWINEMAKER'S NOTES: Light hint of florals, petrichor, and wet stone on first breath followed by a wave of blueberry, blackberry, violets and brambly dark heady notes. The palate has a rich attack of plum and dense tannin. The midpalate is chalky with dusty tannins and finishes with fresh, lingering acidity, leaving edgy and drying tannins on the palate, reflective of the famous Gimblett Gravels soil.
