Both long and concentrated, this has a rich sweetness of very ripe fruit, a silkiness that's seductive and makes it tremendously drinkable. And yet it's also detailed, revealing flavors of violets and spices. An excellent display of what southern Argentina's vineyards can produce.
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.
