Achaval-Ferrer Mendoza Malbec
Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
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.
