WINE DESCRIPTION
Mt. Vernon Malbec is crafted from grapes grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Mendoza, Argentina, where the Andes' cool breezes and abundant sunshine create optimal ripening conditions. This Malbec is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its vibrant fruit character, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 12 months to add subtle complexity. The result is a full-bodied wine with layers of dark plum and blackberry, complemented by hints of vanilla and spice. Its structured tannins and balanced acidity make it suitable for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring.

Customer Review AI Summary
Mt. Vernon Malbec is praised for its rich, full-bodied character with prominent plum and chocolate flavors, often described as velvety and well-balanced. While most appreciate its smooth tannins and complex dark fruit aromas, some note inconsistencies between vintages and occasional lack of nuance. The wine shows excellent cohesion between acidity and tannins, though a few find the finish shorter than expected.
