2019 Dos Fincas Malbec

2019 Dos Fincas Malbec

Varietal: 100% Malbec

Appellation: Mendoza, Argentina

Alcohol: 14%

The use of two separate vineyards in Argentina is a traditional practice to safeguard against the threat of hail. For the Basso family, it also allows them to make a more interesting blend by combining the attributes of two distinct microclimates. The dark, powerful fruit from their vineyard in San Carlos, matched with the softer, more nuanced fruit from their vineyard in Tunuyan, makes for a memorable win

Look: Inky purple in color

Aroma: Classic malbec aromatics of dark plum, blackberry, and blueberry

Palate: More layers of saturated berry fruit flavors and notes of cocoa fill out the palate, and the wine finishes incredibly soft considering its young age
