Lucas & Lewellen’s 2017 Malbec comes from the 35-acre estate Valley View Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley of Santa Barbara County. Here, the Malbec is grown high on a knoll overlooking the Santa Ynez River, a prime location in this warmer climate vineyard that is home to both Rhone and Bordeaux varieties.
This Malbec has dense flavors and aromas, a creamy texture, silky tannins, and complementary notes of raspberry jam, cherries, cacao, toasted vanilla, and rubbed sage. Winemaker Megan McGrath recommends pairing the Lucas & Lewellen 2017 Malbec with flank steak, prime rib, pulled pork, or, her personal favorite, a rice bowl with sauteed vegetables, sauerkraut, and a homemade green goddess dressing (see recipe on winery page).

Four Cheese Potato Gnocchi Gratin
There is an old South American ritual occurring every 29th day of each month, where the family gathers together and eats gnocchi. The Argentines call the day “noquis del 29”. Amazingly creamy and would pair nicely with a Malbec.
