Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

"Inky purple-colored it reveals an excellent nose of vanilla spice box cedar clove and blackberry. Medium-bodied firm and structured the wine has gobs of ripe fruit layers of flavor and enough tannin to evolve for 3-5 years. The finish is long and pure. Drink this overachieving wine through 2020."

Argentina Malbec

Most distinguished and celebrated from Argentina’s Mendoza, Malbec has seen runaway success since the early 2000s. Mendoza’s agreeable, continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold snowy winters allows the perfect conditions for growing outstanding Malbec. This grape is easy to like for its lusty, deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, plum, red cherry, autumn spice and tilled earth. It’s easy to find delicious, fruit-driven, affordable everyday examples and in prices beyond, quite exceptional ones with dense, supple textures that make them capable of aging.
