Agua de Piedra, Gran Selcción Malbec 2017, Mendoza, Argentina

Tasting Note: A malbec that reveals all there is to love about this grape.

Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of blackberry, blueberry, black plum, raspberry compote and violet.

On the palate, the dry, medium-plus-bodied malbec delivers ripe fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity with some chalk on the medium finish.

The wine is smooth in texture with velvety, medium-plus tannin.
