The Molinari vineyard at the very south end of Dry Creek Valley produces intense Malbec.The color is a nearly-black purple,and its deep-noted blackcurrant fruit lurks at the bottom of the glass. With structure to age for another 5-10 years, it is approachable and seductive right now. Our friends who have visited Argentina (where Malbec reigns) recommend the traditional pairing of grilled beefsteak.
