This is Malbec with its feet firmly on the ground and its eyes on the Andes. From Lujan de Cuyo, the 2020 de Angeles leans into depth without losing its sense of balance. It opens with dark plum and blackberry, followed by a gentle whisper of violet and warm spice. The fruit feels ripe and generous, but never overdone, shaped by altitude and sunlight rather than excess. On the palate, it is smooth and confident, with a velvety texture that makes it easy to love and hard to rush. There is a savory undercurrent running beneath the fruit - a touch of earth, a hint of cocoa - that keeps everything grounded and quietly complex. This is a wine that fits right in at the table. Grilled meats, slow-cooked dishes, or a relaxed evening that calls for something comforting but well made. Approachable, expressive, and deeply satisfying, it shows exactly why Lujan de Cuyo remains Malbec’s spiritual home.
