What to Expect

Argentina, and in particular the region around Mendoza, is making a name for itself as the source of some of the finest expressions of Malbec ever made. In this warm, yet dry climate the Malbec achieves near perfect ripeness endowing the wines with a velvety texture and intense flavors of blackberry, peppery spice, and balsamic herbs. The cooler, well-drained slopes of the hillsides of the region have proven to be ideally suited for Malbec, allowing for the wines to achieve a level of complexity and harmony that rivals those of Napa or Bordeaux.

Tasty, but a little too expensive for me to choose it again. I'd rather buy more Luca.

Super dark legs, sticks to side. Smooth black fruit nose, with ripe banana. Tannic and acidic, but really smooth. Reminds me of Argentina! Superconcentrated. Steak nose. Enormous. Pepper. Light medicinal nose.

"Dark and ripe, but intense and vivid, with melted licorice, grphite, plum, confiture and freshly crushed boysenberry fruit all pumping through the lengthy finish. There's real solid grip as well...92"WS 4/08
