Puzzle Malbec is a boutique Israeli Malbec from the slopes of the Judean Mountains. Pure Malbec grapes grown in rich, airy soil under careful vineyard control, aged 12 months in oak. Mood: Rich, intense, plush. SOMMELIER NOTE "A rare Israeli varietal Malbec. Boutique treatment gives it depth without losing the varietal's characteristic plush core." Tasting Notes The nose opens on ripe plum, dark cherry, and a signature Malbec violet lift. The palate is rich and intense with plush dark fruit, soft tannins, and warm spice. The finish is long and velvety. Food Pairing A natural for grilled meats, Shabbos brisket, and slow-braised short ribs. Also handles a rich mushroom risotto or a heavy pasta dish.
