The altitude should never be taken for granted in Argentina, even when it seems like all wines can claim such a...

This pours fairly deep ruby-purple. The aromas are nicely vibrant and lifted with blackcurrant/raspberry amid subtle...

Lots of power for under $20. Length, depth of fruit, and not overly oaked. Tannins still have some grip but are quite...

Woody marked but fine - by the way, the wine is 100 percent malbec even if not stated on the label. Medium-bodied...

Ripe plum, berry, oak spices and a hint of violet aromas from the cork. The generous nose in the glass leads with blackberry and meaty aromas followed by hints of herb, oak spice and violet. The palate is medium-full bodied with fine tannins and lifted by bright acidity. Aromas come through nicely on the palate with blackberry, white pepper and meaty notes leading the way. The finish is long and earthy with hints of mocha. Paired well tonight with lamb burgers. A nice Malbec to enjoy over the next 5 years. Recommended buy. Tasted Sept/2017.
