This is an Argentine style take on the Malbec varietal, full of bright acidity. The body is medium and a bit chalky. There are plums and black currant fruits, but this is a very tart wine. It would likely be best to cut through the flavors of oily foods.

A big smooth red, this Malbec has a bit of oakiness that diffuses with decanting. The primary flavors are blueberry, bright cherry, and leather. The finish is soft without overmuch acidity.

Naked Wines. Very smooth, balanced acid. Balanced sweetness, some fruit. Nice texture.
