2021 Staffordshire Reserve
The 2021 Malk Family Staffordshire Reserve is a wonderfully concentrated blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Aromatically intense expressions of blackberry, black cherry, and cassis are complimented with nuances of graphite, all-spice, and graham cracker. The palate is full of texture and weight; luscious, but maintains a sophisticated structural framework. This wine is enjoyable in its youth, but is certainly cellar worthy.

Aromas of black and blue fruit with hints of violets, dark chocolate, iodine and wet stones. Full-bodied with vivid fruit, bright acidity and compact tannins that are nicely put together, reaching harmony and poise, and at the same time showing intensity and richness. Long and velvety. Better after 2026.
