WINE NOTES
100% Organically grown at over 2700 ft. above sea level in Mendoza, Argentina on the Caligiore Estate Vineyards. This wine was produced with the first run juice from “old vine” Malbec (75+ year old vineyards). Round and rich, this Malbec has an extended maceration period to ensure firm, yet soft tannins emerge from the fruit, not wood or oak.

TASTING NOTES
A captivating deep purple color with brilliant violet tones. The initial nose is intense and complex with outstanding floral aromas of rose and violets combined with red berry notes. Once swirling the glass you find dense spices and creamy fragrances exhibiting themselves. Ample mouth, deep with marks of delicate tannins are rounded with a velvety finish and a well balanced acidity. This old vine Malbec showcases rich fruit and mature flavors of toffee and chocolate, one sip is a seductive beginning.
