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

The distinction D.O.C. certifies that grapes that give origin to it come form Luján de Cuyo exclusively, one of the most remarkable regions for wine productions, and that it has been matured in oak barrels and bottle for at least 24 months.

AGING
French oak barrel (1st and 2nd use): 12 months

Deep red color, with violet hints. Sweet and spicy aromas reminiscent of black pepper. Good fruit and smooth, harmonious tannins.

Lots of aromas including caramel, tar and black fruit. Lots of black fruit, nice smooth tannins and long finish. Worked really well with a rib-eye and should only improve.
