Altos Las Hormigas 2021 Reserva Malbec

Tasting Notes

This Malbec from the Uco Valley in Mendoza opens with a deep, vibrant red hue and an expressive nose featuring cassis, orange peel, fresh plums, chestnut, carob bark, eucalyptus, white pepper, bay leaf, and white roses. On the palate, it delivers bold fruit intensity with flavors of dark berries, black cherry, and dark chocolate, supported by medium tannins and vibrant acidity that create a smooth, well-rounded mouthfeel. The limestone-rich soils impart a fine texture and tension, culminating in a long, persistent finish with hints of crushed herbs, espresso, and sweet spices. Ideal food pairings include grilled ribeye steak with chimichurri, slow-braised lamb shanks with rosemary and garlic, wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil, and dark chocolate lava cake with sea salt.
