Malbec gets bottled

On Monday, November 23, I was able to bottle 30 x 750ml bottles of the Chilean Malbec.  I used a new cork this time around.  I switched from a #8 cork to a #9, because I’ve felt that the #8′s were a bit too loose in the neck.   When you open the #8s, they would tend to crumble a bit too easily.

The Malbec is a real fruity flavor with a smooth finish.  Strong oak flavor is very nice on the palate.  I was able to create some nice labels and now the wine will age in the cellar…for as long as I can hold off on drinking it.
