Winemaker Notes
The wine shows aromas of black fruit jam and liqueur, with notes of vanilla, chocolate and smoke. On the palate, its ample and rich, with a long finish and soft tannins.

A stacked wine with deep fruit on the nose as well as notes of orange peel and graham cracker. With its lush palate of sweet blackberry and plum flavors, this pours on the stoutness that Argentine Malbec is known for. A real-deal wine with size and balance. Maybe the best Broquel Malbec to date.
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.
