Malbec, Susana Balbo, Valle De Uco, Mendoza, AR, 2020

James Suckling

Smoky raspberries & blueberries with dried licorice, tar & some sweet spices and praline. A medium-bodied red, but quite compact & tight, filled with silky, frosted tannins that knit with the fruit. A nimble malbec with berry fruit at the end.

Winemaker Notes

Beautiful deep violet color with exploding aromas of blackberry, black cherry and blueberries framed by hints of spices and mint. The wonderful aromas are mirrored on the palate and they are joined by ripe plum fruit and notes of toasty vanilla, bittersweet chocolate and a hint of mint on the finish. This is a ripe and rich style of wine with long velvety finish.
