This blend of 50% Malbec and 50% Pinot Noir is all hand-harvested from the Tupungato Winelands vineyard in Gualtallary. Planted in 2007, this vineyard is situated at 4,600 feet of altitude and has calcareous, stony soils. Vinified in stainless steel, the wine sees some carbonic maceration and is aged 4 months in bottle before release. Full of juicy black fruit flavors and bright acidity, this wine reminds us of similar red blends found in the Loire Valley. An easy drinking wine that's a great match for steak frites, burgers or roasts.

Pinot Noir

The Burgundy region of northeastern France is the historic home of the Pinot Noir grape, and is the source of the world’s greatest examples. Here one finds renditions of Pinot Noir that deliver power with finesse and grace, wines that have unimaginable depth of flavor, yet are perfectly balanced and ephemeral in the mouth - in short, wines that deliver all that Pinot Noir has to offer. Terroir, the concept that wines from a specific region have unique and identifiable traits, is intricately...

Malbec

Known as Côt throughout much of France, Malbec is the dark-skinned variety that put Argentinian wine on the map - and likewise, Argentinian Malbec saved the grape from near obscurity. The Cahors appellation in France still relies on Malbec to distinguish many of its wines, but the area is exceptional in this regard. As the grape can be quite difficult to cultivate, it has become far less popular over the years, even in its Bordeaux home. Its South American renaissance has ensured, however, that...
