Familia Furlotti Malbec, 2018

Argentina, (Mendoza IG)

100% Malbec

14.2%

 

With punchy dark fruits, lush texture, and surprising precision and restraint in equal measure, Furlotti has channeled 3 generations of winemaking tradition into a pure expression of high-altitude Mendoza Malbec.

 

TASTING NOTES: This delicacy of the wine shows off a velvety blood red robe when poured into the glass. It has an excellent nose of red currant, pomegranate, wild raspberries, blackberry, plum purple flowers with notes of peppery spice. This wine is incredibly balanced and well delineated with fresh red berry flavors, savory acidity and a very plush long mouth-filling finish.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: It is a true treat to drink by itself, but it pairs excellently with grilled flank steak in a chimichurri sauce, caramelized beef short ribs, or roasted wild duck breast w/ a cherry chutney.
