91 Points - James Suckling (October 2023)

This Don David Reserve Malbec is a true Argentinian gem. James Suckling awarded it an impressive 91 points, praising its "deliciously pure and fresh fruit" and "long, flavorful finish."

This Malbec hails from the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Mendoza, Argentina, a region renowned for producing world-class Malbec. The high altitude vineyards and unique terroir contribute to the wine's intense concentration and complexity. Expect aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and violet, with hints of spice and vanilla. On the palate, it's full-bodied and velvety smooth, with well-integrated tannins and a long, satisfying finish. This is a Malbec that truly over-delivers for its price.

The winemakers at Don David have carefully crafted this Reserve Malbec, using traditional techniques to preserve the purity of the fruit. The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels. This meticulous approach results in a Malbec that is both elegant and approachable.

Pair it with: Grilled steak, roasted lamb, or a hearty beef stew.
