Limited-Release 2017 Malbec Proprietor’s Reserve

Seize the moment and try the limited-release 2017 Malbec Proprietor’s Reserve in the tasting room. Only 56 cases of this wine were produced. Perfect for cooler weather, it will draw you with its deep, sexy purple hue into a luscious, complex nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, damson plum, raspberry, vanilla pod and clove, with hints of sage and toasty oak. On the palate, this full-bodied wine offers ripe, smooth tannins and fresh acidity with generous black cherry, blackcurrant, raisin and dark chocolate notes. Steep, terraced vineyards and old-world viticulture techniques produced this intense Malbec from the Gablemanns’ vineyards on the northeast side of Oliver. Oliver Twist has enjoyed a long relationship with this great grape-growing family. Serve this food-friendly wine with duck confit, lamb risotto, veal scallopini with mushrooms, tourtière, potato and porcini mushroom cakes with truffle sauce, or another special meal. Or don’t share at all: simply curl up with the wine and some quality dark chocolates.
