Lamadrid Reserva, 2006, Argentina, Malbec. Single Vineyard.
Malbec is a varietal that can make some of the most beautiful wines imaginable. This one is spectacular, deep purple, with aromas that are exquisite, and a taste that opens up like a deep valley. The grapes are grown on a single vineyard high in the mountains, where the sky opens up to deep blue and the altitude scares away bugs without a need for pesticides. The grapes grow with the intensity and concentration of the mountain view, and a world away you can taste and smell and see the beautiful work that made this beautiful wine.
