This is the Gold medal winning Argentine Malbec of our dreams
ABOUT THIS WINE:
PrimaZona
Malbec
This returning member favorite is an especially exciting pick up for our experts. With the average vineyard sitting thousands of feet above sea level temperatures can swing drastically between day and night. These swings keep an optimum amount of acidity in the grapes while allowing sugars to develop, resulting in an elegant and balanced wine. The PrimaZona is bright, with tastes of dark fruit and an elegant finish. We think that this wine has just the right amount of ripeness with a vibrant touch of acidity and fine, easy tannins. At the back of the wine lies a beautiful perfume of florals. We think it is fantastic when paired with anything on the grill. And it won a Gold at the 2018 Denver International Wine Competition!
Here's a recent tasting review from The Terroirist:

WINE REGION:
Mendoza
Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.

This elegant Malbec is full of bright red fruits that are helped out by the bright acidity of the wine. It makes it very simple to pair with chicken and more oily fish. Try this Malbec with and without food and see which way you like it best!
