Sunal Ilógico Malbec | 2018 | Calchaqui Valley, Argentina

3rd highest vineyard in the world
Partnership exclusive in the U.S.
10x resveratrol levels and 93% less sugar than bulk grocery store reds

A vibrant red color, with shiny hues of blue and purple that give it a more youthful look. Aromas of fresh berry (cranberry and blueberry) with discrete herbal scents (basil and oregano).

This is a clean wine on the palate – no overwhelming body here. The tannins are smooth and soft with delicate edges. A clever, but quiet, wine. Give it time, and it may just show you something special.

In the finish you discover an earthy, almost ashy drying sensation to amplify the herbs. I even got a touch of mint and spice too, a white and green pepper mix. This wine will open up your taste buds. Be ready for a meal.

You should drink this wine soon to get the full effect of its freshness and rare floral expression. However, it will hold and even evolve within the next 2-3 years.

Luca Old Vine Malbec | 2018​ | Mendoza, Argentina

93 pts (Wine Enthusiast)
50 year olds 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.

Bremerton Selkirk | 2017​ | Langhorne Creek, Australia

90 pt (Halliday)
Low Sulphur

When Langhorne Creek isn’t underwater, the flat floodplain quietly produces some of Australia’s best shirazes. (Shiraz is the Australian name for syrah.) At the heart of Langhorne Creek, the Willson sisters eschew excess chemicals to make a shiraz called Selkirk, named after their grandfather’s ancestral home in Scotland. Their winery, Bremerton, has been in the family for over three decades now. Since 1997, family winemaker Rebecca Willson seeks the best possible fruit from various (including her own) Langhorne Creek vineyards to craft traditional wines. Lucy keeps the business end humming along.

The richness and dark plum of Selkirk reflect the incredibly rich soil. But don’t fear. In the nose, this wine is all pepper. In the mouth, it’s balanced with supple tannins (18 months in fine grain American oak), rich fruit and smoke.

Verdon Estate N. 3 Blueline Vineyards Red Blend | 2018​ | Napa Valley, California

The “Californian Gaucho”

Top 1% wines of the world, Vivino
30% malbec

This is a “napa cab”, but with an Argentine twist. Note the 30% malbec – like Bordeaux of old, but the experience is more like a great Amarone. Malbec often grows poorly in California. Finding it here is a treat.
We have winemaker Kevin Morrisey to thank. Having gone to UC Davis relatively later in life (35 years old), Kevin nonetheless got off at a sprint, working first at Château Petrus (known for its $8,000 bottles), then at Stags Leap for close to a decade.
This 2018 is begging for a steak and maybe a piece of hard cheese. You’ll find notes of plum, toasted almond, dark chocolate and even (some claim) eucalyptus (don’t ask us – our palate wasn’t good enough to find it). Swirl it around for a moment and gaze at its fine legs. And be sure to savor the long finish. Cellar 1-8 years.
