Winemaker Notes
Profound black with violet edges. Magic spell of raisins, coffee and light herbaceous notes conquer the nose. Mature and vibrant notes combined with firm and sweet tannins. Long persistence, concentrated and elegant.
Ideal to serve with traditional Argentinean dishes based on red meats also with hard cheeses and smoked cold cuts.

Burnt blackberries, dark plums, iodine, ash and asphalt. Full body, grainy tannins, pinpoint acidity and a blueberry-flavored finish.
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.
