Winemaker Notes
Intense violet color. On the nose, aromas of black fruits, violets and
spices. Mineral and graphite notes. Great balance and freshness in the mouth, with good concentration and medium structure. Soft tannins and persistent finish.

Blue flowers light up this brilliant white-peppered red. Mouth-watering raspberry and high acid spell "tart" and "fruit" - grown in high altitude vineyards. Mocha and cherry spread luxuriously across the mouth. A great barbeque wine.
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.
