The winery is named Layer Cake in honour of winemaker Jayson Woodbridge’s grandfather who observed that well-made wine is, "like a great layer cake." Lots of layers of pleasure in the glass here. Mocha dark chocolate melts into plush plums and fleshy blackberries on the palate of this luscious Argentine red wine made from Malbec grapes. Some espresso and vanilla smoke on the finish. Pair with grilled meats.
