Today’s Makia Estate 2011 Reserva Malbec hails from the Uco Valley, arguably Argentina’s most up-and-coming wine region. But after tasting today’s gem, this region won’t be a secret for much longer!

The vineyard from which this wine hails sits at 4000’ elevation, resulting in a wine driven by dark fruits and spice, with a touch of terroir and mineral characteristics. On the finish, a playful pop of acidity takes this Malbec to another level entirely.

For those ready to jump up in class from the traditional Malbec, today’s Makia Estate Reserva is the one for you!
