Luca Old Vine Malbec 2017 – Mendoza, Argentina
93 pts (Wine Enthusiast)
50 year old vines
3,500 ft.
This is a great example of Mendoza Malbec. Old Vine has made Wine Spectator’s Top 100 List twice for a reason – it is quintessentially expressive of Mendoza and impossible to replicate. A true pioneer of small-grower relations in Mendoza, Laura Catena’s incredible, limited production wines come from some of Argentina’s best fruit from low-yield, high elevation, family-owned vineyards.
Spice and black cherry cola aromas with notes of cocoa. The berry flavors pop on the palate from its depth and lively acidity, finishing with hints of espresso. Pairs well with foods such as venison or wild game, steak, pork, quail, all types of lamb, and medium-strong cheeses.
