Domaine St. Diego is an impressive small vineyard run by vintner Angel Mendoza & family in Mendoza's Lujan de Cuyo appellation. This is an exuberant oak-free Malbec blend, w cab franc standing in for the wood.

Dark, dry, high tannin wine made from whole cluster fermentation and low temperature; no oak. We visited this small charming winery a few years back just south of Mendoza. A small family operation. The father had worked for years for one of the large wineries. Then saved enough money to start his own on just a few hectares. Stacking in the grape plants with double and triple levels of cordons for maximum light interception in this tight area. I could swear they had named each of their grape plants. Well crafted wines, very balanced.
