| Notes | "Their bread-and-butter red 2019 Malbec Clásico wants to show that not all Malbec from Mendoza is jammy. It's mostly grapes from Luján de Cuyo and a small percentage from the Valle de Uco, mostly from their estate vineyards, from parts with limestone in the soils. The hand-harvested grapes fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts, and the wine matured in concrete vats for nine months. It's floral and expressive, clean and varietal, juicy, fruit-driven and very easy to drink." (Wine Advocate) | |||
