Winemaker Notes
The wine is deep red with violet highlights.
Aromas of great complexity with very ripe dark berries, a touch of black pepper, and spicy fragrances. On the palate well integrated delicate ripe tannins and complex finish with hints fo coffee, vanilla and toast.
Suggested food matching: Lamb ossobuco, hot spicy pumpkin risotto and malbec reduction. Stuffed fowl breast, potato, leek and bacon puree, red grape sauce.

Opaque purple; spice box, incense, lavender, and black fruit aromas; underlying structure.
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.
