2022 Clever Rival Malbec

Grown in California’s Lodi region, this Malbec shows off rich layers of black cherry, plum, and a hint of cocoa, lifted by notes of violet and spice. Lodi’s warm days and cool evening breezes bring depth and balance, giving the wine a plush texture and smooth, lingering finish. Its bold yet approachable character makes it a perfect partner for grilled flank steak, spicy chorizo, or roasted eggplant.
