Alpamanta Malbec 2020

The 2020 Malbec Alpamanta is from Ugarteche, Mendoza. Purple in hue. The nose offers notes of red fruit ranging from cherry to plum over a bed of oak that lends complexity to the primary profile. Quite smooth in the mouth with fresh energy, the grip adds to the wine’s depth. Drinking window: 2022-2032. Score – 91. (Joaquín Hidalgo, vinous.com, Nov. 3, 2022)
