Winemaker Notes
The classic Malbec aromas of ripe plum and violets areevident in the nose, with hints of vanilla. The beauty ofthe Malbec in Argentina is its ability to combine a rich,weighty mouth feel with a soft silkiness normallyassociated with lighter wines. Elsa Malbec takes thepromise of the nose through to the palate, with pleasingfruit that mimics the aroma. The soft, supple palateleads to a lingering finish.
Elsa Malbec is the perfect accompaniment to a widerange of foods, such as salmon or other flavorful fish,pork and beef.
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.
