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.

Opaque black-purple color. A touch sweaty at first with a gentle spicy, minerally character that is appealing. Layers of savory tea and tar grow in the glass though the nose remains restrained and focused. The entry is big and sweetly fruited with lots of power and dry extract but the intensity of flavors lags a bit. What is in the glass is very appealing blackberry, blackberry seeds, boysenberry, mineral and spice. Has a classy feel with some elegance and solid fleshy fruit on the decent finish. Tannins emerge on the finale. A pretty big wine that may improve with cellaring. 89pts
