Tasting notes
The 2019 Malbec Chañares Estate from Los Árboles, Uco Valley, was aged in 50% new French barrels. A vivid purple in the glass. The nuanced nose offers clear notes of bay leaf and hints of country herbs over a bed of cedar. In the mouth it’s expansive with polished tannins, a little grip, a balanced, full body and subtly intricate flavors that lead into a long, fruity finish.

Purple fruit with black licorice, white pepper and cloves. Full-bodied with layers of chewy and polished tannins and a great finish. Sage undertones to the minerals. Chalky and structured. Great finish. Needs three or four years of bottle age. Give it time to soften.
