"Opaque dark-purple color. Iodine, tons of fresh dark cherries and minerals. Superchalky, reactive tannins offer plenty of grip, with a resolved finish. Intense and almost full-bodied but so fresh and long. Fermented in concrete with some whole clusters. Aged in foudres."

"The 2021 Malbec The Apple Doesn't fall Far From The Tree is a blend of grapes from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley and Perdriel in Luj n de Cuyo, Mendoza and was fermented with native yeasts. Purple in the glass. The compelling, pure nose presents notes of violet and lavender with fresh plum and hints of herbs. The easygoing palate is fresh and juicy with refined tannins and a fluid, flavorful flow. An inviting, easy drinking red."
