Vinyes Ocults Malbec 2020

A red wine from Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina. This is a rich, concentrated Malbec with ripe dark-fruit character and herbal nuances. On the nose, you’ll find aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and dark cherry, with hints of spice and earth. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and a hint of oak. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant balance of acidity and tannins.
