Notes from critics
Here's another Malbec blend that we just love. A deep, inky purple color. The nose is intense and captivating, revealing complex layers of black cherry, violet, cedar, and a subtle herbaceous lift from the Cabernet Franc. The palate is full-bodied and luxurious, boasting concentrated flavors of blackberry and dark plum, framed by velvety, ultra-fine tannins and a vibrant freshness. The finish is profound, persistent, and beautifully integrated.

Profound yet fresh nose with a flowery and peppery lift from the blackberries, chiles, chocolate and mountain herbs. Fresh, fine tannins spread across the palate with juicy fruit and a very long, expressive finish. Tannins are tight but grainy and polished.

The 2021 Malbec-Cabernet Franc Iscay comes from Uco Valley. It opens with thyme, fine oak, black fruit, ash, caramel and balsamic hints, offering plenty of aromatic intensity and complexity. Fluid and delicately textured, the palate shows energy and depth, with chalky structure and nuanced flavor. This is a high-intensity 2021 with both varietal and barrel-driven layers, finishing on a Bordeaux-inspired note.
