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.

Reviews

Wine.com

Aromas of smoky oak and cherry. Mouthwatering, penetrating flavors of ripe red and blackcherries, red berries. Quite rich and velvety on the palate, and finishes with just enough grip tomake it a real winner with food. Pairs well with grilled or smoked meats such as beef, pork, andlamb. Also complements dishes prepared with cheese or cream sauces.
