Critic tasting note: (2023 vintage) "Asphalt, fresh blackberries, elderberries and herbs with a touch of espresso on the nose. The palate is succulent, with juicy, restrained dark fruit and polished, precise tannins that turn creamy toward the finish. Very well composed and solid. Drink or hold." - James Suckling

Angélica Zapata Malbec Alta is a blend of Malbec grapes sourced from different vineyards. The result is a wine of great concentration and elegance. The Angélica Vineyard offers ripe plum jammy flavors with a soft, supple mouthfeel. La Pirámide Vineyard lends intense black berry fruit with spicy black pepper and clove. Altamira provides elegance and freshness on the palate with a flavor profile of red berry fruit. Lot 3 from Adrianna Vineyard is intensely floral, with hints of violets and lavender, while lot 9 provides a deeply violet color and a long persistent finish of cassis flavors and mineral notes. These five elements contribute to wonderful complexity in the final blend.
