Malbec, CabFranc & Syrah. Get to know Argentina CabFranc. This addition brought out more aromatics while the Syrah added some structure.

Wonderful Argentinian Red Blend from a French producer. Malbec (60%)Syrah (20%)and Cabernet Franc (20%). Deep purple color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate and hazelnuts (Nutella), and beef jerky with a great peppery finish. (The Syrah!). Beautiful velvety texture. My new favorite Argentinian. Thank you for bringing this one, Kase! Revisited in May 2020. Still outstanding! Vanilla is more pronounced. Revisited again in January 2021. Still beautifully balanced.

Flechas de los Andes 2012 Gran Corte (SRP $45): This wine is the result of a partnership between Baron Edmond de Rothschild and Laurent Dassault. The fruit is sourced from a high-elevation site at the foot of the Andes that was planted in 1999. Composed of 60% Malbec and equal parts Cabernet Franc and Syrah, this appealing blend is notable for its concentration and length of fruit. Rich flavors of blackberry, plum, and cassis are robust, with well-integrated oak and firm acid structure. Notes of vanilla bean and toasted spices add nuance and carry through the long, grip-filled finish. Quite a pleasure to sip, this wine can be enjoyed now or cellared; there is a good amount of potential. #MalbecWorldDay #Malbec #wine
