Wine of the Month

Pascual Toso Reserva Malbec 2005

As the awareness surrounding malbec increases we are breeding a culture; that of being able to distinguish the finer points of altitude and its effect on the grape.  This region typically shows deep fruit with soft sweet tannins.  Gone are the days of requests for 'Malbec from Argentina' as guests start to demand a more detailed experience.  Pascual Toso have been established in Mendoza, Argentina since 1890, originally from Piedmont. Californian winemaker Paul Hobbs is currently in charge.  This wine is delicious.
