Winemaker Notes
A very well-concentrated and strong wine with intense red ruby colour. To the nose it is spicy with clove and cinnamon combined with ripe fruits. In the mouth persistent velvety tannins are well balanced with the acidity.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The purple-colored 2010 Malbec spent 8 months in new American oak inner-staves. Flavorful, forward, and friendly, this easygoing wine is an outstanding value meant for drinking over the next 3-4 years.
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.
