2021 Nico Malbec by Laura Catena

A massal selection of old pre-phylloxera wines, the 2021 Malbec Nico is sourced from a vineyard planted in Gualtallary at 1,550 meters above sea level. Purple in hue, the fruit-forward aromas feature violet and lavender, along with plum and black fruit. It has a compact texture with a hint of chalkiness and a slightly coarse feel, showcasing intense, juicy flavors. This is a delicious, modern Malbec, crafted from a cold vintage at high elevation.
