Winemaker Notes
Deep, dark color and concentration. Full of rich plum fruit and charged with cardamom and black pepper spice. Exemplifies the best of Argentine Malbec, with an intensity typical of old vine fruit grown in the Vistalba region.
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.
