Malbec Reserve 2020
A wine redolent of the nuances of youth, with a nose that presents of heady herbaceousness, creosote, and red berry jubilee. Upon tasting, you'll find earthy notes with a grippy palate, medium acidity in the medium-bodied wine, leaving it open to a multitude of food pairings. Red and purple plums, with slight hint of olive and cacao suggest turkey or pork dishes.
Aromatics: Eucalyptus, dried oregano, uber ripe plum, violets
On The Palate: fluffy tannins, red berries, plums
Food Pairing Notes: Beef Fajitas, Dried Sausage, Smoked Gouda
