2021 Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Clasico, Mendoza, Argentina (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

This luminous cherry colored Malbec with pink hues offers a delicate first nose of red currant, minty blackberry leaves and tenuous smoky notes. Aromas of passion fruit, accompanied by gentle white pepper complete its cheerful bouquet. This is confirmed on the palate in a light bodied, silky wine with very delicate tannins, along with mango and crunchy plum notes. On the finish, sweet spices and dried herbs linger with a fleshy, natural acidity, which makes Altos Las Hormigas Malbec Clsico the perfect pairing for light cuisine or white meat.

TASTING NOTES:

This shows notes of cherries and red plums with hints of sweet spices and stone. Medium-bodied and textural with a mineral backbone and vivid red fruit. Dusty tannins and a polished finish. An easy and smooth malbec that shows freshness and poise. Drink now.
