Winemaker Notes
A deep red-violet color shows the wine's youth, with long "legs" running down the glass. Valentin Bianchi's L10 Premium Malbec has fruity aromas of ripe plums and cherry jam and soft sensations of vanilla and tobacco from the French and American oak aging. The palate follows the nose, with spicy notes and firm structure of sweet tannins, which harmonize smoothly with this strong-bodied wine. It has an intense and voluptuous finish.
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.
