Winemaker Notes
Deep violet color, with intense, sweet spice on the palate balanced by notes of plum, cassis, blackberries, and black cherries. Creamy, smooth, and ripe in the mouth with soft, round tannins and a long silky finish.
Notably paired with red meat, also perfect with lamb, chicken, grilled vegetables, pastas, and spicy, regional or international fare.
"Simple and appealing aromas of fresh cherries and violets move gracefully over a texture marked by crisp acidity. A juicy Malbec for grilled chicken." 89 Points

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.
