Winemaker Notes
On the nose, there are ripe black cherry aromas and light floral notes that give way to a full, rich wine with concentrated flavors of cassis and black raspberry fruit interwoven slightly with a touch of chocolate and sweet spice. On the finish, the tannins are silky and ripe.
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.
