Mendel Wines
Mendoza Malbec
Mendoza, Cuyo, Argentina
A Malbec from old vines in Mayor Drummond, Luján de Cuyo, that spent 12 months aging in one-third new and two-thirds used oak. Bright purple in the glass. The nose features candied plum and jam and hints of pepper and allspice, as well as tomato preserve, vanilla and herbs. Concentrated, substantial and well-balanced, with a light, slightly rustic feel enhanced by the active tannins, which also deepen the profile. Well made in a ripe style.

One of the best wines I’ve ever had. Smooth. I don’t know how else to break it down. I just had the whole bottle
