NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Kaiken Estate Malbec is a spectacular example of the classic Argentine varietal.On the nose it has ripe blackberry and plum, along with hints of chocolate and smoky oak. On the palate it is silky and smooth, with flavors of dark cherry and blackberries, along with hints of licorice, coffee, and spices. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. An excellent wine to pair with red meats, game, and hard cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Kaiken
Region: Mendoza
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina, located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. It is known for its high-altitude vineyards, producing some of the country's most renowned wines. With a long history of winemaking, Mendoza is now one of the most important wine regions in South America. The territory of Mendoza can be divided into five large sub-regions, which give the varieties their particular characteristics: Valle de Uco GI, integrated by the departments of Tunuyán, Tupungato and San Carlos; Primera Zona, which includes the departments of Luján de Cuyo and Maipú; the Northern oasis (Lavalle and Las Heras), the East (San Martín, Rivadavia, Junín, Santa Rosa and La Paz) and the South (San Rafael, Malargüe and General Alvear), covering practically the entire provincial geography.
Mendoza has been producing wine since the 16th century, when Spanish settlers first brought vines to the region. Since then, the region has become a major producer of both red and white wines, with a focus on Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Torrontés. In recent years, Mendoza has become a leader in sustainable winemaking, with many producers focusing on organic and biodynamic practices.CUSTOMER RATING
