Bodegas Bianchi is a family-owned winery that was founded in Mendoza in 1928. Today, the estate is known as a large-scale global brand with widely available Malbecs, but this single-vineyard bottling is a step up from its entry level wines. It’s made from a single block in the high-altitude Uco Valley, showcasing the terroir of the Andes mountains.

Aged in French oak for 12 months, this Malbec has an impressively rich, dark berry nose with hints of cocoa. The palate is smooth and even with a good fruit depth, balancing acidity, and medium weight.

From the 2019 vintage, this wine also shows how Malbec presents itself with some age on it. The tannins have softened into the body of the wine, while the palate still maintains prominent acid and fruit flavors.”
