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.

Smells chocolately with notes of cherries. Decent fruity taste of cherries and chocolate again. Medium bodied.

Very rich and fruity (red berries and cherries). Soft well integrated tannins. A slightly alcoholic nose and a slightly tart finish - both of which dissipated. Give it another year in the bottle or decant before serving.
