| TASTING NOTE: This Malbec was grown in a vineyard at a breathtaking altitude of 2,700 metres - that's the height of five CN Towers stacked on top of one another! It's impressively concentrated and structured, with suggestions of ripe dark fruit and berry preserves wrapped in silky tannins. Pour it with grilled beef tenderloin and garlicky mashed potatoes.
