The deep purple/blue-colored 2017 Malbec Casali 10 offers a fresh, vivid, medium to full-bodied style as well as a big blast of blue fruits, violets, and sappy green herb-laced aromatics.

Containing 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Malbec Casali 10 Blend fermented in small lots and was aged 22 months in 90% new French oak. It has a deep garnet-purple color and features loads of savory charcuterie, sautéed herbs and tapenade notes over a core of black and blue fruit with wafts of menthol and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, firm and structured, it has great freshness and an energetic finish. 405 cases produced.
