The 2023 Malbec Reserva blends fruit from Uco Valley and Lujon de Cuyo. It is fruit-forward, with violet and cherry notes, dense tannins, generous volume and a touch of maraschino and licorice emerging with time.

A charming style, with citrus blossom, guava and huckleberry details, plus traces of fresh herbs and cassis that linger in the background. Subtle minerality and fresh acidity nudge the core flavors onto the polished finish. Drink now. 83,000 cases made, 40,000 cases imported.

The 2023 Malbec Reserva is well-made and sanguine in tart red fruit and a bite of white plum. The pillowy tannins support lengthy, medium-bodied richness and leathery earth, with the structure to go another 10-12 years.
