"A spicy, dark-fruited red with hints of chocolate, dried flowers and bark. Medium- to full-bodied, polished and sleek with bright, juicy fruit and hints of savory herbs and orange peel at the end. Crunchy finish. Drink now."

"The 2022 Malbec Terroir Luján de Cuyo was 75% aged for 18 months in concrete vats and 25% aged for six months in large oak vats. With a purple hue, the nose presents crystal-clear violets, plums and cherries with a subtle oak core. On the palate, it is dry and juicy, and the tannin-less mouthfeel contributes to a well-balanced, easygoing finish. Flavorful and tasty."
