Winemaker Notes
Concentrated wine with an intense ruby red color. The nose is fresh and floral with notes of cherries and ripe plums. The palate has lingering tannin and a good balance of acidity.

Wine Enthusiast
Blackberry, black cherry and crusty, toasty aromas of sawdust and shoe polish make for a bullish bouquet. This Malbec is concentrated and dark in color, flavor and feel. Blackberry, pepper, graphite and herbal flavors turn more complex and towards cola and tea on the finish. Drink through 2020.
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.
