There are a handful of good Malbecs from the 2020 vintage - just not as good as this one! For the money, you cannot beat the value of this juicy, versatile red. You will smile from ear to ear knowing what you paid for this magnificent Malbec.
At 3,600 feet, the high elevation vineyards made of clay and sandy loam give this wine its lift and texture.
"Showy and aromatic... clean, balanced, and very attractive." Wine Advocate
"Juicy in the mouth with a hefty but nimble flow, this is a modern, nuanced wine with tangible grip."Vinous
We love the wine's signature fig, plum, sandalwood, and spice notes.
Whether you need an everyday red, a red for the "big game," or fireside with a bowl of chili, this delicious Malbec belongs among your essentials.
It is also a fantastic pairing for more sophisticated cuisine such as grilled polenta with wild mushroom ragout, roasted quail with quinoa, even a currant and pine nut pilaf.
Enjoy!
