Part of a creative project out of the Langhorne Creek region: 3 winemakers were offered access to the region’s fruit for the first time. Potts clone Malbec, one plot on its own roots, the other grafted on to merlot. Pulpy and expressive, defined as much by the violet lift and teeming blue-fruit references, as by the framework of edgy tannins doused with garden herb and bush tomato accents. Long, mouth-filling and nicely pliant. Tony Love Points: 95/100
