Winemaker Notes
The color is ruby red with tints of violet. The aroma rich in fruit, reminiscent of plum, black fruits, blackberries and violets.
The palate shows great structure and well-balanced acidity. The tannins feel soft and pleasant, with marked roundness and a strong fruity finish.
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.
