Burrowing Owl Malbec 2020

The 2020 Burrowing Owl Malbec is a deep and muscular expression of this variety, thriving in the desert-like heat of the South Okanagan. This vintage presents a near-opaque purple hue and an intense bouquet of ripe blackberry, blueberry, and violet, interwoven with sophisticated notes of tobacco, sagebrush, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and plush, showcasing a dense core of dark fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant mineral acidity. Matured for 18 months in a combination of French, American, and Hungarian oak (28% new), it delivers a long, savory finish with lingering hints of clove and black pepper.
