| TASTING NOTE: Minnesota restaurateur Jon Malinski and his family run this winery, with vineyards in both Mendoza and Cafayate. Valeria Antolin makes the wines with consulting oenologist Roberto de la Mota. Their spicy, earthy malbec has the juiciness of a well-seasoned steak. Aged for nine months in American oak, the wine has tannins that feel like brushed velvet, rich and firm enough to stand up to a thick cut of beef. Score - 92 (wineandspiritsmagazine.com, June 2019) |
