This is a special single vineyard Malbec they had open. Since the bottle wasn’t labeled better, our host couldn’t be more specific on the vineyard designation from the Estate.

On the nose, beautiful ruby fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, deep blue fruit hues. Used expresso grounds, dark, rich, semi-sweet soil, light loamy soil, beautiful dark lavender and violets.

On the palate, the body is full and lush. The tannins big, meaty, tarry and sticky. Ruby fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries & deep blue fruit hues. Used expresso grounds, dark, rich, semi-sweet soil, leather, graphite, light loamy soil, beautiful dark lavender and violets. Beautiful round acidity and a thick, well balanced, rich finish.

Photos of, the entrance to Bodega Terrazas los de Andes. Area they receive grapes to conveyer to the de-stemer. Their wine shop. Another outside shot of the Bodega.

Amazing Malbec Paired great with rib eye steak, pan amb tomaquet and chorizo My wife noted Asian spices and I lobe the dark fruits and strong tannins
