This hearty, sultry, spicy, mouth-filling dark- ruby wine offers raspberry, chocolate, dark licorice, and lightly oaky flavors along with soft tannins. Lovely floral lift with intense, smooth, chocolatey black fruit. This wine is especially flavorful with rack of lamb, and full flavored chicken and veal.

The 2019 Malbec Gran from the Uco Valley was a third aged in foudres and a third in barrels. A very dark purple in the glass. The ripe nose offers rose petals, plum, herbs and a hint of jam. The palate flows well but at a measured pace with intense flavor, good juice and polished tannins along with a hint of salinity. Will improve in the bottle.

A firm, silky red with blackberry and cherry aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine tannins and a caressing finish.

The 2019 Gran Malbec shows fresher and with more integrated oak than the 2018 I tasted next to it despite having very similar analytical figures. It matured in a combination of barrels, foudres and stainless steel and comes through as floral with varietal aromas, ripe but balanced and with a silky mouthfeel. Best After 2023
