Clayhouse Malbec, Red Cedar Vineyard, Paso Robles

Clayhouse wines are an ode to the original Clayhouse which can be found nestled in a canyon up a winding dirt road in Paso Robles, where oak trees proudly stand guard and rows of wine grapes trellis up the hillside. The Clayhouse Red Cedar Vineyard Malbec is a deep vibrant purple-black color. Aromas of violets, wood-spice, orange zest, sweet fennel, vanilla, and black cherry. The wine has good mid-palate weight, with ripe plum and fresh loganberry fruit flavors. This Malbec has a sweet fruit finish with good length, chewy tannins and light roasted notes.
