The 2020 Malbec comes from a warm year, and the wine shows ripeness and has 14% alcohol and oak aromas and flavors from 12 months in new barrels. It has notes of cinnamon and vanilla and fine-grained tannins. 45,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022.

They have changed the label (again) for the 2018 Malbec, and the wine also feels different, clearer, more focused and varietal with a lot less oak and makeup. It's quite classical, ripe and juicy but balanced and fresh; it fills your mouth but doesn't feel heavy. The tannins are fine and the finish is clean and precise. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2020.

The revamped 2017 Malbec has a new orange label with a 1992 on the label that might look a bit confusing; it's not the vintage but the date when the company started. The wine has a little more oak than the Luna brand, giving it a commercial profile. That, coupled with the slightly warmer and riper year, made for a sleek and polished Malbec that is easy to understand and enjoy. There are some tannins that would welcome some food. 40,000 bottles produced.

A bit dull, with modest cherry and rhubarb notes that seem a touch muted. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 700 cases made, 350 cases imported.??–JM??Region: Argentina / Mendoza Select to Add
