Description
Intense red violet color. This Malbec has fruity, aromatic characteristics of blackberry and ripe cherry. Great volume and depth with a long finish, maintaining the soft tannins of a good Malbec.
Malbec typically expresses deep flavors of freshly turned earth, black fruits from berries to plums, and licorice, appropriately backed by dense, chewy tannins. In warmer, New World regions, such as Mendoza, it can be quite intense and often needs time to mellow before becoming drinkable. In the Old World, its rusticity shines, with aged examples showing dusty notes of leather and tobacco. The best examples in all regions often possess a beguiling bouquet of violets.
Malbec’s rustic character begs for flavorful dishes, like spicy grilled sausages or the classic cassoulet of France’s . South American iterations are best enjoyed as they would be in Argentina: with a thick, juicy steak.
