Sottano Reserva Familia Malbec

Tasting Note: This is a stunning example of an Argentinian Malbec, complex, powerful and intense. There are delightful notes of dark fruits, such as plum and blackberry, as well as cherry and raspberry. Overall, it has subtle oak, plus tones of cocoa and vanilla, finishing with sensual tannins. It naturally pairs with a variety of meat dishes like beef and lamb. Hard cheeses would suit as well. If time allows, decanting would help the wine express itself more fully. Treat yourself to this perfectly integrated, luxurious Malbec of Mendoza. —Mercedes, Pourmaster
