Winemaker Notes
We strive for an Agrelo terroir-driven Malbec that is easy-to-drink
and fun, with color and concentration that over-delivers at its price point.

This is a powerfully built Malbec with intense aromas of mint, medicine and blackberry. It feels thick and pure, with a chewy texture and medicinal flavors of berry, vanilla and spice. The flavors veer toward char, pepper and darkness on the 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.
