Mendel Malbec '21

Deep violet in color, this old-vine Malbec offers aromas of blueberry, violet, and a touch of smoked meat. The palate is dense yet refined, with flavors of blackberry, mocha, and a distinct stony minerality. Aged 16 months in French oak (40% new), it earned 93 points for its concentration and finesse. The finish lingers with black tea and spice notes. The Perdriel vineyard's clay-limestone soils contribute to the wine's structure. Pair with grilled ribeye or empanadas.
