This vibrant Malbec from high-altitude vines shows terrific varietal intensity and chalky mineral lift to its black cherry and dark chocolate flavors. Offering exceptional inner-mouth tension for Malbec in its relatively gentle price range, it’s delicious already thanks to its suave tannins. $24.00 (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, June 2019)

2012 is 92pct Malbec/8pct Cabernet aged 13 months in 80pct new and 20pct second year French oak. Great wine that tastes way above its cost. Love the oak in this one.

Inky black Malbec. Licorice and tobacco notes. Very earthy “dirty” sniff. Very dry.

Dry but full bodied and lovely smooth notes of black cherry and black plums. Proper boozy at 14.5%
