Achaval-Ferrer Mendoza Malbec

$26.50

Winemaker Notes

Malbec Mendoza is an inevitable reflection of the variety that is emblematic to our country, the mountainous ranges of the Andes and the sun. Composed of various vineyards, located in the major geographic references that the Cuyana province offers, this young wine, potent and velvety wine, expresses pleasure, smooth and soft, combining land and flavors in one clear strong message. This wine explains Malbec as well as Mendoza in one universal language.

Critical Acclaim

James Suckling

Attractive cassis and blueberry aromas here with a swathe of crushed violet flowers. The palate has a very supple and smooth core of fresh red plums that offer a fleshy and smooth ride to the finish. Drink or hold.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Achaval Ferrer Malbec is an excellent wine showing richness and length. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers expansive aromas and flavors of black fruit, savory spices, and licorice. Pair it with oven-roasted short ribs. (Tasted: November 15, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

Achával Ferrer’s “entry-point” Malbec is a pan-Mendoza blend from six sub-regions: Agrelo, Gualtallary, Los Chacayes, Medrano, Paraje Altamira and Perdriel. It’s always a delight to drink with nuanced oak, glossy tannins and ample blackberry and violet notes.
