Encell Vineyards Malbec Estate Paso Robles 2019
93 POINTS! California malbec for way, WAY under $20 that you NEED in your life STAT!!!
PASO MALBEC! Level with me…have you ever tasted the color purple? What about for nearly 60% OFF?! YES! Encell is your Willy Wonka golden ticket, good people – taste colors, imbibe magic, and revel in the inky, fruity, and spicy goodness that could only be PASO ROBLES MALBEC.
First off…just so y’all know…this baddie is NOT FOR THE SHY!!! 93 points and DEFINITELY not for the “light, friendly red” crowd. Nope, if that's you, delete this now. BUT, if you’re feeling a little like putting on some Creedence Clearwater Revival, or Led Zeppelin, or Queen…and then drinking a blockbuster malbec with enough fruit to fill a stadium – oh, lordy, do what you must for this one!! ONLY $16!!!
So…what does purple taste like? Think mulberries, and plums, inky boysenberries, ripe black cherries, crushed blueberries too – and finishing up with some delectably sweet earth sensations. I’m talking spiced notes of black pepper, decadent vanilla bean, dusty, fresh-turned earth…WOWZA! A sultry kiss of milk chocolate rounds out the finish – and this beauty is just crushable to the MAX!!! Barely enough to offer out – likely nowhere near enough to satisfy! Do what you must to make a six-pack yours!!!
While it lasts!!!
Paso Robles does exceptionally well with malbec – one of our favorite spots outside of Argentina for the grape. This vineyard at the base of York Mtn., on the western edge of Paso takes advantage of coastal breezes to give a long growing season on the vine – and added complexity as the happy result.
