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

Winemakers: Hctor and Pablo Durigutti. Native yeast fermentation. Aged in new American oak for 12 months. Unfined and unfiltered. Lush nose laced with black-berry and plum fruit. Soft yet focused on the palate, with additional flavors of strawberry and wild herbs. Medium tannins and balanced acidity. A terrific everyday drinker!

Did not like this - it finished last in our Malbec tasting. Don't bother with this one!

Jammy, berry fruit. Very firm tannins that come across a bit green in my opinion. Medium to full body. The alcohol was a little hot in this wine, especially on the nose.
