Ribera del Cuarzo, Río Negro (Patagonia, Argentina) Malbec 2021

Aug 28, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 The grapes for this Malbec were sourced from select vineyards in Río Negro, Patagonia.  The wine showcases a vibrant fruit character, with concentrated aromas of crushed blackberry, blueberry, Damson plum, black pepper, and a hint of thyme.  These flavors carry over to a juicy, medium-bodied palate.  Malbec’s notoriously firm tannins are beautifully refined here, with a very fine grain.
