| Region | Argentina: Mendoza | |||
| Notes | This classic Malbec has aromas of ripe plum and violet, with hints of vanilla. It has a rich, weighty mouthfeel with a soft silkiness. An excellent introduction to this very popular grape variety from Argentina! "Violet and spice meld with this wine's full dose of fruit, all of it sitting in the midst of the smooth texture and the juiciness of its acidity. Think of this wine when serving beef stew." (Wine & Spirits Magazine) | |||
Additional Notes "Crisp cherry tomato and plum aromas turn more dark and grapey with airing. Jammy yet fresh and easy on the palate, this quaffable Malbec delivers imple berry flavors along with an exotic note or two. A short finish falls of fast." (Wine Enthusiast) |
