Sharon Weeks Cattoo California Malbec 2018
About the wine
This Golden State Malbec is a powerhouse of fruity flavor
- Sharon blended fruit from a handful of small batches of Malbec to make a seriously big red wine. Nothin' like a powerful Golden State Malbec...
- This bold red shouts with fruits like black berry, raspberry, black cherry and plum. Not to mention hints of vanilla and cinnamon along with an incredibly balanced and round finish.
- Pour a hefty glass and save room for extra-spicy buffalo burger, loaded up with crumbly blue cheese. Now it's a flavor party!
Best before
Good through 2024.
Serving advice
I recommend decanting this wine for 60 mins prior to drinking to allow it time to breathe and open up for full aromatic and flavor development. I also recommend letting all of your wines rest for a minimum of 2 weeks after receiving them to allow them time to recover from the shipping. The shipping really does impact the aromatics and flavors of the wine.
Food match
Goes well with funky flavors like blue cheese, buffalo burgers, lamb, pork, mushrooms and roasted vegetables.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sharon Weeks
- It started as a few odd jobs in the cellar, and turned into a winemaking gig. Over 30 years later, Sharon can't imagine ever wanting to do anything else.
- Sharon's responsible for making some seriously great wines for others – thousands over her 30-year career. But she's always disappointed after the wine's shipped off... all that hard work, and she never hears what becomes of it!
- Now that you've made her an independent winemaker, she loves sharing her big, enthusiastic winemaking style with Angels – and hearing what you think!
