Andás
Malbec Reserva
Varietal: Malbec
ABV: 14%
Winemakers: Bodega Benegas
MSRP: $20.00
Scoring 95 points and winning the platinum medal at the 2017 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition, Andás 2016 Reserva Malbec is the latest vintage from the Benegas family, pioneers of New World Malbec. The Benegas were the first to bring French grapevines to Argentina—an act that would help transform the country into one of the world’s most exciting Malbec regions.
Because the 2015 vintage of this wine was so well received by members, critics, and judges alike, we decided to reserve the entire 2016 vintage exclusively for our members. This vintage presents more structure, riper tannins and more power than the 2015. And while you can taste why this vintage has been acclaimed so highly right from the bottle, the ripe tannins make this the perfect wine to hold on to for a few ...

WINE REGION:
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.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Andás
The name Andás has a few associations with place and culture in Argentina. What place? The Andes Mountains, whose striking peaks dominate Argentina's landscape, hoisting vineyards up towards the sun. The culture? A phrase, "que andás," which loosely translates to "how's it going," "let's go," or simply a greeting between peers. Each of these high-altitude wines speaks to its roots, a place you can't help but remember and a feeling you'll never forget.
