Wine & Spirits
A Lisa represents Noemía's basic wine, composed of malbec (90 percent) with merlot and petit verdot. Rather than the typical sweet attack of a voluptuous modern wine, this malbec feels like a beam of light made of fresh red fruit, its structure linear and tight. An exceptional wine for roast beef.
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.
