Mendoza, ArgentinaA steady, value for money performer, the latest edition comes from an outstanding year in Argentina. At 50+ years old, the east facing, biodynamically farmed vines are matured at Finca La Linda, at 950m above sea level in Luján de Cuyo. The nose and palate are both rich and expressive, offering black plum flecked with blueberries and black raspberries, spending a year in French oak to round out the edges and firm up the tannins. This one is age-worthy, but you can drink now with grilled beef or the classic Italian offering, spaghetti Bolognese. Good value.Tasted: 16 February 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 23.99 BCLS

Mendoza, ArgentinaThis classic malbec comes off vines averaging 35 years in Luján de Cuyo and Uco Valley. After a ferment in stainless, this rests in French oak for one year. Rich blackberry is laced with espresso, fragrant cherry, perfumed plums, anise, and peppery spicing. Tannins are long, firm, yet supple, hugging this to a lingering, sweetly spiced and medicinal finish. Grilled beets, beefs work here.Tasted: 23 February 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 23.99 BCLS
