Top Notes For
The 2019 Malbec Estate Selection from Uco Valley offers precise and attractive notes of fresh, sour cherry, plum and hints of lavender, violet and thyme. On the palate, it is a mix of flavors framed by fine, reactive tannins. Finishes juicy, with well-integrated freshness and fruity flavors. $25.00 (Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous, October 2021)

Aug 28th, 2015Nice start, good mouthfeel, let's up a bit on the finish. Price up $2 since last vintage. Hmm. #Chakana # Malbec

Dec 19th, 2014Very inviting purple hue in the glass with rich red berries and spice on the nose. Chewy tannins and a long finish.
