2020 Ricardo Santos 'El Malbec de Finca la Madras' Malbec Mendoza

Winemaker Notes:  The Malbec is a striking deep, brilliant purple color. The nose is ripe and full, reminiscent of dark cherries, plums, and chocolate with undertones of loam and earth. In the mouth, the wine displays a profound core of ripe, blackberry jam fruit, lengthening into a sophisticated weighty finish coupled with an elegant silkiness. This is a rich and complex Malbec with an outstanding elegance and good structure. It is often referred to as “a Malbec for grown-ups.”

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine & Spirits - "This wine grows at the vineyard surrounding the Santos family’s winery, the vines planted in 1992. Powerful and earthy, it shows an inviting sandalwood complexity in the aromas, while the palate is all about jammy boysenberry power flecked with salinity. Aged in a mix of French and American barrels for six months, it wears its oak well, adding structure behind the vinous oomph. A bacchanalian malbec that makes you want to have ribeye and red wine for breakfast."
