Caballero de la Cepa Malbec

$19.00

Varietal Birthplace Year
Malbec Mendoza 2010
This very forthright and easy-to-love Malbec shows luscious fruit and silky tannins. On the nose, blackberry and white pepper scents have a whiff of lightly seared meat. On the palate, flavors of cassis and licorice and dark berries are joined by notes of mint and eucalyptus on the finish.
Black licorice, currant, white pepper, cacao.
In 1947, Caballero de la Cepa became the first wine in Argentina to be labeled by grape variety. The practice continues today with this bottling, which is a study of Malbec from different altitudes. In Argentina’s arid climate of Mendoza, high altitude is crucial to moderate temperature. This wine blends Malbec grown in the cool air of 3,300 feet, providing perfume and complexity, with fruit grown in the warmer climes of 2,100 feet offering robustness and depth. The region saw terrific weather conditions for the ’09 harvest with warm summer days followed by a dry autumn—perfect for Malbec lovers, as this wine shows.
The spicy fruit in this Argentinean Malbec pairs well with the earthy, heady flavors of Middle Eastern, Indian and Mexican cuisine.
