"Deep saturated red. Black plum, licorice and a note of chocolatey torrefaction on the nose. Sweet, suave and nicely deep, with a saline quality and good smoky complexity to its dark fruit and licorice flavors. Finishes broad, with sweet tannins. Not a particularly fruity style, but nuanced for a wine in this price range."

With heady floral and cherry aromas, our Malbec features a dry, medium-bodied palate, robust structure and well-balanced acidity for a pleasingly smooth finish. Enhancing its luscious blueberry notes are hints of tobacco, violet and chocolate. Perfect with steaks, grilled meats, mild cheeses, hearty Italian dishes and savory tapas.

At different altitudes, the family's Malbec vineyards express a unique profile of aromas and flavors: the ripe plum fruit flavors and silky texture of the Angelica vineyard (2,850? elevation); the dark fruit character and pepper notes of the La Pirámide vineyard (3,100? elevation); the black cherry aromas and excellent structure of the La Consulta vineyard (3,870? elevation); the explosive floral aromatics full, concentrated mouthfeel of the Adrianna vineyard (5,000?). The blend of these components creates a wine of unique character that has balance, concentration and a strong varietal identity.

Don Miguel Gascón Malbec is a full bodied wine with a deep violet color, showcasing flavors and aromas of blackberry, blueberry, plum, dark cherry, and a hint of mocha. The wine is elegant and rich in texture, with soft, round tannins and a long velvety finish.
