2008 Patagonia Malbec

The 2008 100x100 Malbec from Patagonia is a stunning expression of this varietal, showcasing a full-bodied profile that envelops the palate in rich flavors. Its vibrant red color hints at the delightful depth found within the wine, offering a beautiful medley of dark fruit notes, including ripe blackcurrant and plum. The acidity is bright and refreshing, perfectly balancing the bold fruit character and ensuring a lively mouthfeel. Tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's complexity and aging potential. This Malbec is decidedly dry, making it an excellent companion for hearty meals, particularly grilled meats or robust cheeses. With its exquisite flavors and harmonious structure, the 100x100 is a remarkable reflection of Patagonia's unique terroir.

Patagonia

The southernmost tip of Argentina is perfecto for growing cool-climate grapes. Patagonia's altitude, arid conditions and Antarctic influence result in wines with uniquely intense color and flavor. Pinot Noir is the standout variety, creating vibrant wines with glorious red fruit characters. Argentina's ever-reliable Malbec is a stalwart here, too, channeling the long, slow ripening season into gloriously bold yet elegant wines. But it was the early European-style Rieslings and Cabernet Sauvignons from the Rio Negro and Neuquen area in the north that initially put Patagonia on the wine map. These unspoiled valleys with their mineral-rich rivers produce wines as distinctive as the unique terroir that creates them.
