Blackberries, dark spices and cloves. A hint of iodine, too. Ripe blackberries on the palate with a broad, dense tannin frame. A little richer and more generous than the 2021, with more black fruit than blue fruit, but less taut and linear on the palate. Starting to open up now. Oak-free. Drink from 2023

The 2020 Malbec Aruma comes from different vineyards in the Uco Valley, Mendoza and spent a year in fine lees. This vintage delivers remarkably intense, fruity notes of candied plum, violets and a pure, alluring bed of herbs. Harsh in the mouth, the juice of the region combines with the 2020 climate to energize a palate of potent but balanced alcohol. This is a big but nuanced red.

Mendoza is Argentina's premier wine region, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains and producing about 70% of the country's wine. The region's high altitude, desert climate, and dramatic day-night temperature swings create ideal conditions for grape growing, with irrigation provided by snowmelt from the Andes. Mendoza is world-famous for its Malbec, a grape that originated in France but found its perfect expression in this terroir, producing wines with deep color, rich fruit flavors, and velvety tannins. The region includes several sub-areas like Luján de Cuyo and the high-altitude Uco Valley, each contributing distinct characteristics to the wines. Beyond Malbec, Mendoza also produces excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and increasingly impressive white wines like Torrontés and Chardonnay. The wines are known for their bold, fruit-forward character with good structure, representing a transformation from bulk production to premium quality that has earned international recognition.
Malbec is a red wine grape originating from France but finding success in Argentina. Known for its dark, inky color, Malbec wines from Argentina are full-bodied with rich fruit flavors like blackberry and plum. They often have moderate to high tannins and pair well with grilled meats. While Argentina is the primary producer, Malbec is also grown in other regions globally. The grape struggled in the cooler Bordeaux climate but thrives in Argentina's warmer conditions, especially in the high-altitude vineyards of the Andes. The wines are generally approachable in their youth but can age well, developing complexity and softer tannins over time.
