This is the first Malbec released by Fielding and it's a welcome addition. While most of Fielding’s 2017 vintage reds are still aging in barrel, winemaker Richie Roberts decided to bottle this pretty and polished wine early to capture its fresh, floral character. It's a lighter and brighter expression than Fielding’s traditional lineup of classically styled, rich and robust reds. It's medium-bodied, with bright acidity and attractive fruit, floral and meaty notes — hipster sommeliers would call it “crushable.” Its certainly something, a seriously enjoyable red that could handle a slight chill should you want to enjoy a bottle this summer. Drink now to 2022. 60 cases. Recommended. (90/100)
