Mendoza Malbec covers a wide range of vineyard elevation, and like many areas of the world, the higher you go, the more the vines struggle, which in turn gives us more concentration and intensity in the bottle. This bottling has all of my favorite Malbec elements – a mix of red and black fruit, savory meaty character, pepper and lively acidity. Add in a supple texture, a long finish, and a value price.
