Wine Review: This Argentinian Malbec is a clear, deep ruby color, with aromas of dark cherry, blueberry pie, mushroom, and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, it is medium-plus bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is round and supple. I found it to be juicy and robust, but not jammy. It is a bit tight right now. However, it opens up with some air. I observed flavors of spiced blackberry, tart cherry, black tea, oak, and coffee. It also displays notes of stone dust, dried herbs, and topsoil. It closes with grippy tannins and a dry, long finish. It would go well with a blue cheese bacon burger. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: Intense and pleasant aromas of great varietal typicity and notes reminiscent of red fruits, in addition to its somewhat highly balanced floral and spicy hints. It is wide, expressive, and flowing in the mouth, with sweet tannins and an excellent fruity character. Straightforward and firm in the palate, its well-integrated ageing in oak barrels can be perceived, also showing a deep, long-lasting and clean finish. Ideal to enjoy with grilled red meat, like skirt steak with mashed potatoes or rib eye served with rosemary rustic potatoes.
