Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Made with grapes from high-elevation old vines in Lujan de Cuyo. Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits, toasty oak and subtle spice, aged for 6 months in new and used French oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry and ripe cherry with notes of herb and tobacco. Medium finish, firm tannins, ending with fruit and herb and oaky mineral character. Drink now no aging benefit.

Hints of blackberry and plum. Good value. Nice wine for hanging with friends.

Red plum, black licorice, espresso. The earthy notes really come out if you let it breathe. I always say how good 90+ is and this really exceeded my expectation.

Excellent for causal afternoon with friends. Pairs well with truffled cheese or an aged Gouda.

We both enjoyed it. Smooth, without too much fruit.

I like Argentinian wines, spent a lot of time down there to appreciate a good Malbec. And Lot 23 is a really good Malbec, but most of them are. Highly recommended.
