2024 Malbec

Our ode to the goddess Flora and the fullness of harvest. Beneath the warmth of late summer, the vineyard deepens in tone and intensity. Fruit ripens, flavors concentrate, and the rhythm of the season slows as vines reach their peak. This collection reflects that moment of culmination, shaped by time, terrain, and the natural richness of maturity.

Deeply aromatic and intriguingly savory, the 2024 Flora Springs Malbec opens with notes of dark fruit, spiced cake, and earthy game, evoking the warmth of a rustic English savory pie. On the palate, tart plum and ripe fig meet cardamom, tobacco, and red earth, with subtle savory notes adding depth and complexity. Despite its dark and brooding aromatics, the wine is surprisingly light on its feet, with focused acidity and plush, structured tannins that lend both texture and lift. A touch of astringency brings energy to the finish, making this an exceptionally food-friendly expression of Napa Valley Malbec. Best enjoyed alongside rich, savory dishes such as chicken liver pâté, roasted meats, or earthy mushroom preparations.

TASTING NOTES

Deeply aromatic and savory, the 2024 Malbec opens with notes of ripe fig and tart plum layered with spiced cake, cardamom, and subtle earthy game. On the palate, dark fruit gives way to red earth, tobacco, and savory spice, with a distinctive minerality adding depth and tension. Despite its rich aromatics, the wine is surprisingly light on its feet, framed by firm yet plush tannins and a focused, food-friendly finish.

WINEMAKER NOTES

Crafted to preserve the natural character and savory complexity of Malbec, the wine was thoughtfully fermented and aged to balance richness with freshness and structure. Careful extraction brings depth and color while maintaining the variety’s natural lift and texture. The resulting wine is expressive and layered, with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and the earthy character that gives Napa Valley Malbec its distinctive personality.

VINTAGE

The 2024 growing season offered a favorable balance of warmth and cool influences, allowing the grapes to develop concentrated flavor while retaining freshness and natural acidity. A relatively mild, even season supported gradual ripening and extended hang time, resulting in fruit with depth, aromatic complexity, and balanced structure. For Malbec, these conditions helped preserve the variety’s vibrant fruit character while allowing its savory, earthy qualities to emerge with clarity.
