Cien por Ciento 2018 Malbec Argentina

Description

Drinking a complex wine can be a heady experience. With the fruit forward flavors mellowing into the background, you can discover tastes that aren’t often associated with wine. The new Malbec from Cien Por Ciento starts with a deep color and rich texture. The notes of plum, blackberry, and black cherry dance on the tongue, but are followed by notes that make this wine a true delight to drink. We get rich notes of pepper, dark chocolate, and hints of savory, roast game. There’s something earthy and wild about the flavors, but the part that holds it all together is an intense graphite minerality that plays off the firm structure. It makes the wine a blend of unique flavors that are a delight to sip. Judges love it too and sent it home from the 2019 Texas International Wine Competition, the 2019 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition, the 2019 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge, and the 2019 Winemaker Challenge with a Silver medal!
