The 2021 Malbec Alta Collection comes from San Pablo in the Uco Valley and was aged for 12 months in a combination of first and second-use French (95%) and American oak barrels (5%). Purple in hue. The raw nose offers fruity aromas of plum and cherry accompanied by mountain herbs and violets. It's dry and juicy on the palate with taut tannins and a tart, refreshing mouthfeel that establishes a nimble, easygoing flow. This is a precise mountain red from a cool year. Drink 2023-2032.

Blackberries, violets and some subtle grilled spices. A medium-to full-bodied red with lots of dusty, powdery tannins that provide a fine structure for the fruit. The quantity and quality of the tannin here are impressive. Drink from 2023.
