El Guardado Malbec

2010 San Juan Malbec

El Guardado Malbec from the San Juan region is an exceptional expression of the varietal, showcasing a full-bodied character that wraps around the palate in a delightful embrace. Its vibrant red hue hints at the intensity this wine brings to the table, with pronounced fruit intensity offering luscious notes of blackberry and plum that dance harmoniously with subtle undertones of spice. The mouthwatering acidity elevates the experience, providing a refreshing lift that perfectly balances the fruit-forward profile. Tannins are notable yet refined, lending structure and depth without overwhelming the fruit. This renowned vintage also features a pleasing level of dryness, making it an inviting choice for any occasion, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with hearty dishes.
