This 'high altitude' Malbec is a truly spectacular powerful red at an amazing price.

Region: Argentina (Cafayate Valley)

Grape: 100% Malbec

Taste: "This is Piatelli's top selection of Malbec, and the panel remarked on this wine's polish and complexity, calling out flavors like vanilla cola, olive salinity, blackberry pie and truffle. That salinity shows more prominently than the sweeter flavors, making the texture nervy rather than slick. The acidity lasts, keeping the wine fresh." Wine & Spirits, 93 Points

"From Cafayate, the 2020 Malbec Reserva (Cafayate) was aged for eight months in American and French oak. Dark purple in the glass. The nose offers ripe aromas of plum and blackberry with pink pepper and gentle woody notes. Broad and juicy in the mouth, the slightly compact palate has a soft, chalky texture lent volume by the sweet tannins. A lovely interpretation of the Calchaquí Valley." Antonio Galloni's Vinous Media, 91 Points

"A rather earthy and spicy young Malbec with blueberry and blackberry character. It’s full-bodied with round tannins and a juicy finish. Extreme character, but pretty texture. Drink now." James Suckling, 91 Points

Pairings: This powerful wine pairs well with red meat, burgers, ribs, barbecue.

Drink now after decanting for 1-2 hours or hold for 3-4 years.
