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 :Aged for 12 months in French barriques. With deep ruby red color, this wine displays ripe red berries, spice and black pepper aromas with muscular layers of black fig, coffee, bittersweet cocoa. Its intense initial taste is complemented by the softness and sweetness of its tannins. It is a wine with a great body and perfect structure. A wine that can be enjoyed now and cellared for another 3 to 5 years.

With deep ruby red color this wine displays ripe red berries spice and black pepper aromas. Its intense initial taste is complemented by the softness and sweetness of its tannins. It is a wine with a great body and structure.The 2006 Malbec Single Vineyard spent 14 months in French oak. It is purple-colored with an expressive bouquet of black cherry mineral and spice box. On the palate it is both mouth-coating and elegant with plenty of sweet fruit excellent depth and a long pure finish. 91 points Wine Advocate.

This is my go to malbec. It has great fruit and well rounded tanins. This wine has spicy notes to it and pairs well with spicy food.

Rating: 87/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 06/09 This malbec has a backdrop of sweet black cherry and tart dried cherry flavors. All of that fruit combines with juicy acidity to match pasta Bolognese.
