Wine Description:
Siesta Malbec is a single vineyard wine produced by Ernesto Catena in the Vista Flores subregion of the Uco Valley in Argentina's Mendoza province. The vineyard is located at high altitudes, which results in deep-colored wines with floral aromatics and a firm structure. The winemaking process involves fermentation and aging in oak barrels for coffee spice complexity. The resulting wine is a deep ruby color with intense aromas of black fruits, spices, and vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a firm texture, and flavors of ripe blackberries, plums, and chocolate. Siesta Malbec is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a rich and complex wine with a long and satisfying finish.

Wine Expert Note:

This Siesta Malbec has a brooding purple color that turns bright pink at the rim, hinting at the floral notes of violet and blueberry fruit that are to come on the nose. The body is generous, with a firm structure of grainy tannins and taut acidity. The finish is long with coffee grounds complexity. A great example of high-altitude Malbec that combines precision and power. Drink with grilled meats and enjoy within the next 8 years.
