Don't miss this full-bodied blend of 95% Malbec & 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from high elevation vineyards in the Uco Valley! Sourced from estate vineyards in Vista Flores, this sub-region is considered by Tim Atkin to be one of the "Grand Crus" of Argentina. Dark violet in the glass with floral aromas and rich, ripe blackberry, plum and chocolate notes melted with blackcurrant and cassis display an excellent balance and freshness. There is an abundance of new French oak that plays well with the ripe fruit and tannins. If you've ever passed on Malbec thinking it's too one-dimensional, the Dark Amethyst is a perception altering bottle.
"A wine with good aromatic depth, showing black fruit, dark chocolate, and grilled spices. Full-bodied with massive but finely grained tannin. A delicious, spicy allure on the palate. Drinkable now, but better after 2021." James Suckling, 92 Points
"A Malbec with 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, both from the Uco Valley, that spent nine months aging in French barrels. Bright purple in the glass, it offers classic aromas of ripe plum plus secondary oaky notes. Fleshy on the palate, with gentle, shapely tannins, an indulgent feel and moderate freshness, it delivers intense, satisfying flavor. A wine for lovers of Mendoza Malbec." Vinous Media, 90 Points
