Winemaker Notes
We strive to achieve a Malbec with a deep purple color, with a
high intensity of blackberries, blueberries, plums and milk chocolate.

Wine Spectator
Very fleshy, with plum, fig and boysenberry paste flavors liberally layered with dark toast and espresso notes, followed by a broad finish. For the hedonist crowd. Drink now through 2012.
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.
