“A typically expressive and refined Malbec from the ‘Queen of Argentine Wine,’ Susana Balbo, according to Decanter!”

“ “A rich yet fresh Malbec, with generous aromas of ripe black cherries, black olives, and a hint of graphite. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with ripe fruit, fine tannins, and fresh acidity. A fruity, solid finish of medium length. 45,000 cases produced. Drink now.” (James Suckling 2025)
