Staff Pick Notes

It’s kind of refreshing to find “serious” Argentine Malbec these days! This is not your typical, big, fruity overly ripe underwhelming Argentine Malbec. This is a structured, age worthy, well though out wine for those of you who want a little bit more. I was surprised at how delicious this wine was and I can truly say that it brings back fond memories every time I see this bottle ! Dark and rich from lovely cherry, blueberry, and blackberry fruit with hints of coco and oak integration that approaches perfection. Absolutely perfect with a grilled Steak!
