Winemaker Notes
In color it is a bright purple, with an aroma full of fresh red fruits and light floral notes, accompanied by delicate hints of vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, it is round, with a good character, remarkable structure and soft, gentle tannins.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 La Flor Malbec shows a bright ruby color, with a clean, floral nose showing violets intermixed with raspberries and hints of sweet spices. The palate is juicy and fresh, easy to drink, with clean flavors and polished tannins. A great, elegant Malbec for pleasure at fantastic price.
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.
