Winemaker Notes
Wine of well defined profile, deep red color and great intensity. Aromas of small red fruits and plums dominate the nose; the vanilla scents from the oak barrel add elegance. Mouthfeel shows a great personality, great body and is fruity, well balanced and sensual.
This wine pairs well with grilled meats, pasta with red sauce, salmon and veal.

James Suckling
Lots of spice, dried meat and fruit character here on the nose. Full body, with firm and polished tannins and a long beautiful finish. It's refined and polished. Drink or hold.
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.
