2023 Decibel Malbec, Hawkes Bay

In Appearance: dark purple hue
On the Nose: Smoky, brambly aromas hint at tamarillo, black cherry, and Christmas pudding, with a touch of cola and pipe smoke nostalgia.
On the Palate: The youthful palate features juicy strawberry, brambleberry, and boysenberry, complemented by light pepper and rosemary. With air, the mid-palate develops a creamy texture, balanced by vibrant acidity. Chalky tannins and a hint of tea leaf create a dynamic finish, making this one of our most exciting Decibel Malbecs yet.
