96 Points James Suckling
Blackberry, tar and basil with some other herbs on the nose. Full-bodied with juicy tannins and a fine-velvet texture. It’s long and polished with a pretty and rather classy finish. From vineyards in Altamira, Los Chacayes and Las Compuertas. Sustainable. Tight at the end. Such finesse. Give it a year or two.

Grapes grow at an altitude of 3,280 feet, enjoying diurnal temperature variation. The result is a flavorful wine, with a nose of cassis, blackberries and coffee. It has a smooth texture and concentrated ripe black- and red-fruit flavors balanced by fine-grained tannins and good acidity. Earthy notes of dark chocolate complement the fruity character.
 
Winemaker Notes
Intense red colour with violet hues. Intense and complex on the nose, combining aromas of raspberry and black cherry from Las Compuertas with plum and violet from Paraje Altamira, and blueberry and fresh herbs from Los Chacayes. A great concentration of tannins leads to a creamy and unctuous mouthfeel, while a balanced acidity and firm tannins contribute to a pleasant and persistent finish.
 
Serve this intense malbec alongside both grilled and slow-cooked beef dishes with rich wine reductions. You could also try it with stewed lamb dishes and mature or smoked cheese.
