Purchase Simonassi '1922' Malbec

Lovers of Argentine Malbec, take note! We've always been impressed with Simonassi's entry level release, but the 2008 limited-edition Malbec is simply stunning.
This Malbec is dense, ultra-ripe, terroir-driven yet full of dark berry fruit, it is a tour-de-force in South American winemaking.

"Aged in 80% new oak for 15 months, it is incredibly dense, with copious amounts of dark fruit braced by mocha and vanilla undertones. Large-scaled yet sophisticated, it is extremely enjoyable now but will reward cellaring for the next decade. A mere 1,200 cases were produced in this inaugural vintage." -Winemaker's Notes
