The 2018 Malbec Pyros Vineyard Block N° 4 from the Pedernal Valley was aged for 12 months in French barrels, a tenth of them new. Vivid purple in hue. The nose, which has a little biscuity liqueur to it, presents notes of country herb and bay leaf with hints of dark fruit such as blackberry and blueberry and a whiff of lavender and other dried flowers. Bold in the mouth, it has a juicy, chalky texture and relaxed structure before the ripe, fruity finish. —J.H.
