Tasting Notes
Ripe plum, blackberry, vanilla, and a hint of chocolate. Medium-to-full body with round, approachable tannins.
Our Review
Achaval-Ferrer's Reserva is proof that exceptional Malbec need not be expensive. At this price point, it delivers concentration and complexity that embarrass wines costing four times as much.
