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.

Winemakers Notes

2005 Bodega Melipal Malbec Reserve Absolutely cracking drop from new kids on the block Melipal. There's not a flaw to be found in this exquisitely balanced and deliciously complex Malbec. Medium body. Incredible depth and complexity on the palate, absoultely true to the nose. Fine, soft, silky tannic structure and excellent acidity balances the dense flavours and aromas. Very impressive length, and a warm finish. Alberto Antonini and Hector Durigutti winemakers.
