Salentein, Valle de Uco (Mendoza, Argentina) Malbec 2012

It was wines like this that put Argentine Malbec on the map. This reserve from Salentein, which boasts some of the highest vineyards in the world, delivers the intensity and layered complexity that seriously good Malbec can and should. On the palate it is juicy and mouthwatering, with aromas of ripe blackberries. The oak treatment is modest, allowing the beauty of the fruit to shine.  Platinum award winner at the 2014 San Diego International Wine Competition.
