Bodega Mendel is a boutique winery with an incredible story. Combination of 1928 Argentinian Malbec vines and other Bordeaux varietals provide a combination of sophisticated structure with enough complexity to keep the palate engaged. My favourite wine from Mendel. — 9 years ago

Very interesting wine. Lots of red ripe fruits and oak. Strong finish, but balanced. — 4 years ago
