User Reviews for Luca Malbec
Add your reviewPositively delicious and exactly what one would expect from a Malbec. ull ruby. Blackberry on the nose and on the pallete, although with hints of violet on the nose as well. Sweet, but not overly so as it's nicely balanced by some tangy tannins. Nice peppery finish. Just awesome.

Winemaker's Notes:
This is a great example of Mendoza Malbec. Incredible color—could use it in an inkwell! Loads of spice and black cherry cola aromas with notes of cocoa. The berry flavors really pop on the palate as the wine has both good depth and very lively acidity that leads to an incredibly long finish. A bottom note of freshly brewed espresso keeps the mouth watering too. This one is a teenager at the moment, and should age very well (and not talk back when you don’t give it the car keys!). Pairs well with foods such as venison or wild game, steak, pork, quail, all types of lamb, and medium-strong cheeses. A very flexible wine due to its concentration and balance.
