Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThis polished malbec comes from vineyards in Uco Valley, and aged 18 months in new French barrels. Sultry violets perfume wild dark cassis, blackberry, black plum along a smooth, supple palate, buoyed by a wave of acidity and a bump of RS. Tannins are plush and long, drawing the fruit through the spiced, pressed finish. Easy to drink now, with some maturity. Nice to see the sweetness dropping off over time on this label.Tasted: 27 February 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 21.00 select private retailers

Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThis is a full throttle, heady malbec aged in all new French barriques for 18 months. The oak is certainly present, with no shortage of chocolate and toast, but it doesn't overwhelm the fruit. The soft, plump black fruits work nicely with the wood, and a violet lift gives it added aromatic intensity. Suave and polished, this is nicely balanaced and will hit that big, bold red craving as we head into barbecue season.Tasted: 27 February 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 21.00 select private retailers
