2023 Matias Riccitelli "The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree" Malbec

The 2023 Matias Riccitelli "The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree" Malbec exemplifies the bold character of Argentina's signature grape. The nose presents intense aromas of plum, blackberry, and violet, with subtle hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, it delivers a full body with ripe tannins and a concentrated core of dark fruit flavors. Notes of chocolate and mocha emerge on the mid-palate, adding complexity and depth. This Malbec is aged in French oak barrels, contributing to its structure and well-integrated oak character. It finishes with a persistent length, showcasing the richness and intensity of Mendoza fruit.
