With a backbone and intensity similar to Cabernet yet the soft fruitfulness similar to Merlot, Grand Reserve Malbec is dimensional enough to fascinate the enthusiast, yet smooth enough to please the novice. Cultivated with arid-clean air at 3,200 ft elevation which minimizes common viticultural challenges, crystal-clear water from the Andes, and nutrient-rich soil, Piattelli's Malbec grapes thrivein the warm, dry days and cool nights which maximize the color and tannins. In this stately bottle, some of the best grapes in the region become one of the bestwines in the world.
