Winemaker Notes
Intense, deep red-violet color, almost black, showing the concentration and quality of the grapes. This is an aromatic wine with a good balance of depth and power. On the nose, there are dark fruits and jam with an elegant hint of smoke, vanilla and chocolate, while on the palate, it is ample and rich, with a long finish and delicate, soft tannins.
Food matches: Soft cheeses, roasts, red meat, hard cheeses, grilled vegetables, grilled meats, beef, barbeque
Professional Ratings
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.
