Slightly austere at first, this red grows on you, beginning with notes of eucalyptus and floral, marinated olive. Reveals fleshy plum and cherry flavors, with firm acidity lifting everything and carrying it all onto the finish around polished tannins. Drink now through 2036. 2,500 cases made, 450 cases imported.

The 2022 Malbec Alta Yari Reserva hails from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley and was 60% aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels. Dark purple in the glass. The nose offers ripe plum, mountain herbs, sage and violet nuances. Dry and chalky on the palate, the juicy, compact structure leads to a rewarding, fruity finish. This high-altitude Malbec enjoyed favorable conditions in 2022.
