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

Tasting Notes :Rich, concentrated, loaded with character and structure this has a gorgeous nose that transfers over into the palate. Laced with spice and floral overtures and dark fruits- blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, this has perfectly integrated tannins and a dry finish with a bitter chocolate cast that goes on and on

Concentrated but bright, with fresh raspberry, cherry and floral notes leading the way for additional licorice, blueberry and plum sauce notes. Very silky finish shows excellent length as it airs in the glass. Very nice combination of power and elega... Wine Spectator.
