Bodega Colome Estate Malbec 2022
Bright and intense in color with beautiful aromas of blackberries, red fruits and exotic floral notes, this wine delivers aromatics that entice the senses. A full lush entry of ripe and rich black fruit surrounds spiced oak notes and hints of pepper. Fresh acidity supports big, bold tannins and wonderful complexity.

The opening notes of toasted herbs and spiced chocolate suggest a rich and dark version, yet the core of this red shows pure raspberry and cherry flavors. A nice layer of minerally freshness underneath drives the finish around precise tannins. Drink now through 2034. 23,000 cases made, 12,000 cases imported.

The 2022 Estate Malbec combines four vineyards ranging from 1,700 meters to 3,100 meters above sea level and matured for 15 months in both new and used barrique. An inky nose of opaque fruits, tobacco leaves, fresh herbs and turned earth introduces a dense, compact palate with a mineral-tinged core. It concludes with a long, rich finish framed with taut, sturdy tannins.

This shows aromas of asphalt, dark fruit, cured meat, thyme and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied and succulent, balanced by bright acidity and polished tannins. Dark berry flavors follow through to a rich, firm finish that is lifted by a refreshing backbone of acidity.
