Winemaker Notes
Intense red color with violet shades. Ripe red and black fruit and supple tannins. Delivers a fresh, crisp, attractive finish packed with truffle, mocha and vanilla notes.
Ideal to have with grilled meat; also combines perfectly with pasta, mild to spicy cuisine and semi-hard cheeses.
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.
