2021 Luca Malbec Uco Valley Argentina

Winemaker NotesThis is a great example of Mendoza Malbec. Incredible deep purple red color. Loads of spice and black and red cherry aromas with notes of chocolate. The berry flavors really pop on the palate as the wine has both a full mid palate and lively acidity that leads to an incredibly long finish. A bottom note of freshly brewed espresso keeps the mouth watering too.Pairs well with foods such as venison or wild game, steak, pork, quail, all types of lamb, and medium-strong cheeses.Press from previous vintage#21 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2021Rated 95 Points James SucklingAmazing depth and intensity to this old-vine malbec with blackberry and black-licorice character to the wine.

Drinkable now for its generosity, but let it mellow with a few years of bottle age. Better after 2024.Rated 93 Points Wine SpectatorUnctuous and fine-grained flavors of dark currant and rip
