Winemaker Notes
The Ruta 22 Malbec begins with intense red violet color in the glass. On the nose, aromas of bright red fruit, plums and raspberries followed with fruit with rounded and firm tannins. Enjoy now.
Pairs perfectly with red meats, cheeses made from cow milk and pastas with light sauces.
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.
