Winemaker Notes
Garnet violet color. Aromas of roasted nuts, latte, and dried berries with a supple, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a zesty, chocolate citrus peel, bacon bits, and earth accented finish with fine chewy tannins. Excellent balance and flavor for a wide range of foods.

James Suckling
Beautiful aromas and flavors of sour cherries and chocolate powder with hints of citrus peel. Full body, delicate tannins and a fresh. Bright and pretty. Drink or hold.

Grainy tannins give a sense of breadth and mass to this wine, though the tea-scented, sweet cherry flavors are, in fact, pleasantly restrained. Pour it with game. Best Buy
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.
