2022 Matías Riccitelli ‘Viejos Viñedos’ Malbec, Lujan de Cuyo, Argentina
$45.00
A powerful, high thread count Malbec from centenarian vines.
The Malbec in our club wines is a lithe, perception-bending take on the grape. But, Matías is also exceptional at making refined versions of the more classic, full-bodied Argentinian Malbec.
This cuvée is from centenarian+ vines (the oldest were planted in 1908), grown at a soaring 1100 meters. Destemmed and fermented with a long, gently extraction in small concrete vats; and aged in French oak for 16 months.
With dark red fruit, dark earth, and dried herb aromatics, it’s a powerful, silky bottle that reminds us of our all-time favorites from Sonoma’s Ridge Vineyards.
