those familiar with altocedro's malbecs know that oak will be a key player. for this 200-case, small-batch wine, the nose offers a blast of barrel power that initially smells like a sawmill. the palate is bold and full, with flavors of buttery oak, vanilla and salty black fruits. there's grip to the finish, which, not surprisingly, tastes woody, dark and minty. drink through 2022.
