Antigal Winery & Estates
Uno Mendoza Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
What I most love about wine is that one sip can evoke time, place, people, and emotions. The 2015 Antigal Winery & Estates UNO Malbec (SRP $17.99), takes me back three years to Mendoza, Argentina, the trip of a lifetime with a wonderful group of travel and writing professionals like me. Fermented and aged 12 months in French and American oak and sourced from higher-elevation, estate vineyards in Uco Valley, Tupungato, this malbec is not at all shy, with aromas of violets, cedar, blackberries, and spice. This dark ruby red, medium-bodied delight - with its interplay of vanilla, pepper, and dark fruits - is calling for grilled meat, roasted vegetables, and hearty potatoes. In this moment, my mind recalls an Argentine asado, whose intoxicating flavors of wine and food awaken memories of horseback riding in the Andes and late-night laughter in the streets of downtown Mendoza.

I had high hopes but to me it just was just average. Cool bottle design though.

Jun 2nd, 2018This is one of my go-to favorites! Plum and berry, with a little smoke and tannin. Smooth mouthfeel. Pairs well with steak.
