Algodon Wine Estates

This wine has been aged 16 months in French oak. Deep purple in color with crimson tones. The nose instantly betrays the varietal and gives an explosive, complex aroma of red fruits and a slight smokiness. On the palate it juicily brings together a delicious sweet/acid/tannic sensation, while its complex flavors linger in the after-taste.

Pairing: This wine will go well with grilled red meat, dishes accompanied by Malbec-based red wine sauces, pastas, risotto with mushrooms, and even chocolate desserts.

Serving Temperature: 59 to 64.4 °F
