This bottling is a love letter to Mendoza, Argentinian Malbec. The Argentinian husband-and-wife winemaking team at Clay Shannon strives to bring the best high-altitude-inspired wines through the winemaker series. At the same time, we are not in Mendoza; the monumental elevations, diurnal shifts, and sunshine help produce phenomenal fruit sources. Sink your teeth into lush blackberries, boysenberry, roasted sweet chilies, maple, bittersweet chocolate, earth, and silky tannins on the finish. Aerate and Enjoy—Tonya Pitts, WE

This Malbec is plush, dark, and beautifully expressive, opening with blackberry, dark cherry, and ripe plum wrapped in a soft layer of violet and warm spice. The palate is smooth and generous, showing notes of cocoa, black pepper, and a touch of sweet tobacco that add depth without overshadowing the fruit. High‑elevation freshness keeps the wine lively, balancing its richness with a clean, lifted finish. It’s a polished, quietly bold Malbec, ripe, comforting, and unmistakably Lake County.
