Don’t let a shy nose fool you – there can be goodness lurking underneath, especially when it comes to Mendoza Malbec. This example presents muted aromas, but the wine comes to life on the palate, with black cherry, pepper and savory meaty character. The aroma profile will come around with a little air time, so decant well before enjoying with beef. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
