Winemaker Notes
Wine defined and intense, deep red color and good intensity. Its small red fruit notes, plums and figs combine with aromas of vanilla and snuff delivered during aging in French oak. In the mouth it is with great personality, distinguished body, harmonious and sensual.

This dark, smoky red delivers dense notes of plum skin, black currant and grilled herb, leading to layered flavors of mesquite and bittersweet chocolate on the finish. Drink now. 4,800 cases imported.
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.
