This is not your run-of-the-mill Malbec. There's enough basic, decent Malbec out there to float a battleship. Truly interesting, high quality options are much tougher to find. This one is the latter. Produced from a vineyard that is both organic and biodynamic, 3500 feet up in the Andes. The higher altitudes help to maintain the acidity and allows for more expressive aromas. The wine is deeply extracted, full and ripe, without having overt oak character, very smooth on the finish. This is a wine that you can sink your nose into, there's so much going here. It's great from the moment that it's opened. It holds up well into day two. Serve with a variety heartier meat dishes, it's also great with pasta. Total production 10000 cases. Drink now through 2024.
