You’ll like this if…

Grilled meats, richer weeknight dinners, and bringing to a host who likes smooth, full-flavored reds.
Style
Dry, medium-to-full flavored Mendoza Malbec with ripe fruit, moderate oak, soft tannins, and balanced acidity.
Drinks like
Argentine reserve Malbec, Chilean Carmenere, ripe Merlot, or softer Cabernet Sauvignon.
Experience level
Easy for casual Malbec drinkers to enjoy, with enough appellation and old-vine character for more curious wine shoppers.
Flavor notes

grilled steak or churrasco · rosemary lamb chops · smoky pork ribs · portobello mushroom burger with aged cheddar

Serving & enjoying
- Serving temperature:
- 60-65°F
- Decanting:
- 20-30 minutes to open the fruit and soften the oak notes
- Glassware:
- Bordeaux glass or other large red-wine glass
- Drink or cellar:
- Ready to drink now; producer technical material for the 2022 release states a long aging potential, but WineDiscounts.com should not promise the same window for every shelf vintage.
- After opening:
- Best within 2-3 days if recorked and kept cool
