Maroon Red Wines - 6 Mixed Bottles (Half Case!) 

• Maroon 2013 Malbec, 3 bottles

• Maroon 2014 Zinfandel, 3 bottles

Maroon 2013 Malbec: Originally a common blending grape and one of the original five main Bordeaux wine varietals, Malbec is now known as the principal red grape of Argentina. It appeared as a grape variety in its own right in the Napa Valley in the 1990's. Malbec typically ripens midway through the growing season and produces small, intensely colored grapes.

Our 2013 Malbec comes from 11-year-old vines which are carefully farmed on the North-East slope of Howell Mountain. The wine is big, dark and inky with aromas of plums and dark ripe berries. This is a rustic wine with powerful fruit. On the palate, the wine is rich and round, with a long wonderful finish.

Maroon 2014 Zinfandel: This 2014 Zinfandel comes from old vines in Chiles Valley, and is a very fruit-driven, exuberant wine. This wine shows bright plum and blackberry aromas, intertwined with spicy raspberry. There are hints of baking spices and streaks of vanilla from the new barrels. On the palate, the wine is well balanced with medium weight, with spicy berry flavors consistent with the aromas. This Zinfandel ends with a long finish and a nice, light streak of acidity. The wine was aged in 30% New Oak (Hungarian, French, American) for 14 months on the lees.

Maroon handcrafts a number of very small production wines from vineyard sources that may change from year to year. While the vineyard sources may change, their winemaking philosophy does not – focusing on creating 100% varietal wines (no blending). These wines are often only made available to their wine club.
