Our newest & delicious example of rich, generous Malbec has arrived.  Perfect timing!  Grilling summertime.  Meet one of the most complete reds in the store – a 2021 Malbec!

Indeed, Malbec (originally French, from Cahors) owes it popularity to the soils of Argentina, where it flourished & gained the worlds attention. This affordable wine showcases the varietal exceptionally well, with intense aromas of strawberry and cherry, followed by spicy and herbal hints. 

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. Boysenberry and blackberry jump out on first sip, with tobacco and leather that intensify as the palate unfolds. The benefit of high elevation offers bright acidity, lifting the fruit through the long, languid finish. A stunner at any price, completely outrageous at under 25 bucks a pop!
