2020 Raza Reserva Malbec, Famatina Valley, Vinas Riojanas

Classic deep purple. Sumptous, rich blackberries and plums, enlivened with notes of violet, licqourice and spicy oak. Silken and opulent, but with enough heft and structure to maintain good posture.

Vinous

The 2020 Malbec Reserva from Mendoza is partially aged in used barrels. A vivid purple in hue. The nose displays sour cherry, ripe plum and hints of sweetbrier. It’s indulgent and juicy in the mouth with reactive tannins that corset the flow before oaky flavors develop at the end. A well-made, refreshing wine in spite of the warm year.
