2023 Herdsman Malbec
2023 Herdsman Malbec
Description
The 2023 Herdsman is a powerful yet refined Malbec blend from Matchbook’s estate vineyards, crafted for those who appreciate depth, structure, and elegance. Aromas of chocolate, red licorice, and chocolate-covered cherries are accented by subtle hints of clove and warm spice, leading to a dense, layered palate of dark fruit, leather, and cocoa. Carefully aged in oak to add complexity without overpowering the fruit, this full-bodied red offers a weighty mouthfeel and a lingering, satisfying finish. Rooted in the Giguiere family’s long-standing Dunnigan Hills ranching tradition, The Herdsman embodies both heritage and modern winemaking excellence.

A touch of oak and warm spice adds depth and complexity, rounding out this full-bodied red with a long, velvety finish. It’s Malbec with muscle — robust, refined, and seriously delicious.| Vintage | 2023 |
