Kaiken Malbec Ultra 2021

There's an alluring, wild quality to this red, with chaparral and mountain herb note up front. In contrast, olive peppercorn and fresh leather accents chime in and join the concentrated core of plum and berries, which lengthens nicely around fresh acidity before finishing smooth, with a lingering herbal element. 14.5% ABV.

Graphite, dark tobacco, dark minerals, spices and layered fruit. Freshness and complexity are the words here. Juicy and fine-grained on the palate with tight, dusty tannins and a focused, lengthy finish. An excellent vintage.  93 Points James Suckling, 92 Points Wine Spectator, 92 Points Wine Enthusiast.
