Nick's Pick!
The McDermaid Family sells the majority of their fruit to some of the biggest wineries in California but they save the best of their vineyards for their own labels. With extremely low production levels, the Malbec from their Red Hills Vineyard in Lake County is a true gem. At only 13.8%, this structured and dry Malbec has a huge berry nose. A nicely balanced wine with fruit and acidity in nice harmony with one another, a very approachable alcohol level and subtle tones of graphite. Less than 350 cases made.
