NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Marcus James Malbec displays a deep ruby color and greets the nose with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of vanilla.On the palate, it offers rich flavors of dark fruit, including black cherry and blackberry, complemented by notes of chocolate and a touch of spice. This wine is medium-bodied with soft, velvety tannins and a well-balanced acidity that provides structure and freshness. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a pleasant fruitiness. Marcus James Malbec pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, and hard cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Marcus James

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.
