Winemaker Notes
A really good chromatic intensity, with bright red, ruby, purple and black hues. Good structure and maturity. Its concentrated aromatic profile is centered around very ripe red berries. It also shows notes of raisins and mild and fresh herbs, combined with subtle hints of oak and coffee, provided by its aging in barrels. It features mature and vibrant tannins that, along with a hint of dark fruits, give it a long-lasting and elegant finish.

Inviting aromatics, with bright, pure fruit and lifted floral notes, while the palate is laced with a clean, bright acidity and silky velvet tannins. Lovely wine!

Fresh, brooding blackberries and blueberries with violets and attractive spices, as well as a hint of graphite. A plump and juicy palate, showing creamy tannins and impressive natural concentration. So delicious now. Why wait?
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.
