Winemaker Notes
This wine's appearance is intense, ranging from red to violet, lavish color. On the nose, lilacs, violets and red berries are perceived. This wine opens with very sweet, smooth taste with round, elegant, luscious tannins and traces of red berries, cherries and ripe plums. The wood stands out perfectly granting delicate hints of vanilla and chocolate. It has a long-lasting, elegant finish with mature tannins. The aroma, emanating from the fruit, is preserved through fermentation at a never-aggressive, perfect temperature.
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.
