Bedarra Estate 2021 Malbec – Sonoma’s Dark Jewel

Nestled in Alexander Valley’s sun-drenched slopes, this limited-production Malbec offers a sophisticated profile perfect for both casual sipping and gourmet pairings.

Aroma Profile
The nose unfolds layers of dark cherries interwoven with wild herb nuances—think crushed mint leaves meeting subtle lavender hints—and a mineral graphite base that adds complexity.

Palate Dynamics
Medium-bodied yet vibrant, it balances ripe blackberry notes with polished tannins (14.5% ABV ensures warmth without heaviness). A crisp acidity thread keeps flavors lively through its 60-second finish—ideal for lingering enjoyment after meals.

Culinary Synergy
Pairs exceptionally with charcuterie boards featuring aged Manchego or herb-crusted lamb chops; its earthy undertones complement smoky barbecue dishes while cutting through rich cheeses like Gouda.

Terroir Signature
Crafted from 50-year-old vines in Sonoma County’s coolest microclimate zone, this Malbec achieves rare freshness among New World iterations—avoiding jammy overtones common in warmer regions.

Note: Vintage representation may vary slightly between batches due to small-lot fermentation techniques.
