Maipú, Northern Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaThe La Mascota Malbec comes from Cruz de Piedra in Maipu. Thankfully, it is a simple, straightforward commercial malbec on the drier side. It spends 12 months in French and American oak before heading to bottle. The style is warm, ripe, and soft, with black plums, licorice, and blackberries with a smooth peppery finish. Ready to drink. Think beef tacos, pulled pork, or vegetable empanadas.Tasted: 09 March 2023Tasted by: Prices:
