Winemaker Notes
Ricardo Santos was the first winemaker to export this varietal from Argentina, and he began the process of making Malbec Argentina's signature wine. This Malbec has fruity, aromatic characteristics of blackberry and ripe cherry. This first release has great volume and depth with a long finish, maintaining the soft tannins and easy drinkability of a classic Malbec.
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.
