Achaval Ferrer Malbec

Rich Red Wines
The textbook definition of Malbec. Bright ruby red in color, this wine is fresh and floral, featuring blackberry, raspberry and violets on the nose and palate. The wine is dense and thick with a noticeable minerality, silky tannins mark a lengthy finish. Low yields, careful vineyard management and low intervention winemaking are the hallmark of this and all other Achaval-Ferrer wines.
2015 Vintage Scores:
The 2015 Malbec is very floral and bright mixing grapes from different zones in Mendoza, showcasing the grape in the province. The palate is very elegant, soft, with a fresh note that they tell me might come from some 5% Merlot from Tupungato that is used in the blend. Super! 240,000 bottles produced. Rating: 91+"

Staff Review:
Just layers of complexity. Starting with spicy dark fruits bursting with flavor and finishing long and velvety. A staff favorite.
