Lot 36

2008 Mendoza Malbec

Ninety + Cellars Lot 36 is a delightful expression of Malbec from the renowned Mendoza region. This wine showcases a rich, deep red color that immediately captures attention. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience, presenting lush flavors of dark fruits such as black cherry and plum, complemented by subtle hints of oak and spice. The acidity is beautifully balanced, providing a refreshing lift to the wine while enhancing its overall complexity. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, adding structure without overpowering the fruit character. The finish is satisfying and smooth, leaving an impression of ripe fruit and a touch of earthiness. Ideal for pairing with grilled meats or hearty stews, this Malbec shines with its depth and elegance.

Mendoza

Mendoza is the heart of Argentinian wine production. It was here where a previously little-known French grape variety called Malbec became a global superstar. With its extreme altitudes and Andean climate, Mendoza nurtures its vineyards in dramatic sun-drenched plateaus set against snow-capped peaks. At these elevations, the intense UV light ripens grapes in a unique way, working with the cold mountain air to create gloriously supple and expressive wines with bold yet brightly aromatic fruit. Mendoza's high-quality varietals from Bonarda, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are also notable, as are its fine Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sub-regions such as Maipú, Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley.
