The nice thing about Malbec is that the best examples are not expensive — they are the wines that are 100% varietal and spend less time in splashy new oak. From the Luján de Cuyo wine region of Mendoza, this 2017 is everything we want Malbec to be — generous on the palate like a Cabernet, but less aggressive on the finish. A satisfying balance of plummy fruits, warm stone, and fruitcake spice, Brandsen Street leads you in the deliciously right direction!
