WINE OVERVIEW
This Malbec has made Wine Spectator’s Top 100 List twice for a reason —it is quintessentially expressive of Mendoza and impossible to replicate.
Tasting Notes
Spice and black cherry cola aromas with notes of cocoa. The berry flavors pop on the palate from its depth and lively acidity, finishing with hints of espresso.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with foods such as venison or wild game, steak, pork, quail, all types of lamb, and medium-strong cheeses.
Tech Details
The Vineyards are located in La Consulta and Gualtallary (Uco Valley). The grapes are hand-harvested and aged 14 months in 35% new French barrels and 65% 2nd use French barrels.
