Staff Pick Notes

This mature, opulent, rich Malbec shows intense aromas of blackberry, dark plum, and figs, and subtle notes of licorice, tobacco, and mushrooms. Full-bodied, generous, juicy black fruit, and complex layers of flavors that linger in an endless finish. From Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina, comes this old school Malbec.
