Winemaker Notes
Intense, deep red-violet color, almost black, showing the concentration and quality of the fruit's origins. Very aromatic wine with a good balance of depth and strength. On the nose, one notes dark fruits and jam with an elegant hint of smoke, vanilla and chocolate; on the palate it is ample, rich with a long finish with delicate, soft tannins.
Food Match: Soft cheeses, roasts, red meat, Hard cheeses, grilled vegetables, grilled meats, beef, BBQ.
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.
